About 1 min. total less than the time it takes to be BBQ'd and eaten by me?
Or: let me try a corner/end and see if it is done. Hmm, nope, not quite - I'll need to try another piece in 30 seconds to check the progress....

Here are some pics (belatedly) showing pullet 'curved' tail feathers versus Roo 'flag' feathers. BTW, these are all youngsters - no adults!

Young pullet - these two images are the same girl as the first photo. Note the nice little curve of the 2 longest tail feathers. Definitely 'pullet' curved feathers. (note, different breeds, and even different chickens within a breed will have/not have the couple of curved feathers - and some will barely have a perceptible curve, others are more pronounced as in this girl's case.

Note with these 2 picture, the longest tail feathers start the curve much closer to the feather base, are more irridescent (part is due to breed/coloring, part is due to being a Roo), and the general 'drapiness' of the feathers in the roo near the tailhead/near the base of the tail, versus them just 'parting but not draping' on the hen posted at the beginning above.
I hope this helps in spotting pullet versus cockerel when looking at tail feathering! I thought I had some pics of a DC pullet to help you compare, but they all came out blurry, so weren't very helpful.
BTW: sometimes I can tell first by comb/wattles, sometimes I can tell first by tail feathering. Generally speaking, hackle feathering is last for me in 'sexing'. Note that comb/wattle development varies DRASTICALLY by breed, so being aware of how each breed develops is important for that (i.e., DC tend to have very small combs - especially the girls, and neither develop combs early - hence tail/tailhead featherng. BUT. Marans tend to develop combs early - and boys especially so. So, when comparing comb/wattle development to determine sex, need to compare within breed, not across breeds. (I hope what I just said makes sense to you - it did to me, but sometimes I don't translate well!
