So just been noticing some curled slightly pointed tail feathers on my dom. Really hoping this isnt a rooster. Some help identifying.

15 weeks the tail feathers is the only thing had me kinda curious. Maybe hens can have curly tail feathers too?
A couple of my hens looked like that at that age, but they don’t grow saddle feathers or sickle feathers. That’s a pullet if she’s 15 weeks.
 
Pullet! Most of the time tail feathers don't mean much of anything. Pointed saddle feathers, along with comb development are what you have to watch out for because those traits are obvious before they start to get sickle feathers
