Oh my gosh, thank you!

What feathers had you thinking boys?

 

[TheOddOneOut]

I agree. That EE is your only male.

The longer feathers curling over their tails. Particularly #’s 3,4 and 5.

Great teaching experience here...

At this age, tail shape means nothing. You can't go by tails or tail feathers to sex chickens.
