Got my BO chick who’s 2 weeks old now and just wanting to know if it looks more like a hen or cock as hoping it’s a hen as already got one rooster!

Noticed it’s wing feathers are growing quite pointy and tail features which might be a good sign to a more likely hen?

Pretty young to tell. Having said that, I knew my Gerard was a boy at two weeks old - his behavior was just so roo (he‘d wander off more than his sisters, casual exploring). He is a Buff Orpington :wee . And in my experience, fast tail feather growth leans strongly towards pullet.
