Is my Americana a hen or a rooster??

[Herscovitch]

Is there a way to tell at 8 weeks if my Americana is a rooster or a hen? It's tail feathers look different than my other hens so I'm curious.

Roosters are male chickens, hens are female chickens

My bad. New to this. So any thoughts? Hen or rooster?

Hi from Kentucky

there is a thread on here that you can post pictures and the experts will tell you what you have. I think it is in the breeds section.
