Tail feathers don't mean much at these ages.

This one is the only one out of 10 that doesn't have its tail feathers. We will wait and see

It may well mean it’s a male…but if it does, that’s not a reliable sexing method. Males can grow tails in just as fast as females.
So it may mean it’s male…may not.

Welcome to the BYC forum. Lots of good people willing to help with your chicken questions. Suggest you add your geographical location to your member icon. That helps members answer your questions. My setup in northern Minnesota might be quite different than somebody in southern California, for example.
