My one little Barred Rock still has NO tail feathers and her 2 sisters (?) both have tail feathers almost an inch long. Someone said this is a good sign that it could be a rooster? Im uploading a few pics now...

Not great pics, I took them with my iphone. Here is my suspected roo...a fuzzy grey/white butt and not a tail feather in site.

And the other two (girls?) both look almost identical. With teeny tiny white tips on a few feathers.

Barred Rock can be sexed by color. The pullets are more black and the roosters are more white. I have 3BR and 2 are roos and 1 hen.
 
I am guessing the first one is a roo. It look like the feathers in the wings are more white. The other is a pullet. Just my opinion.
 
The roos have a white ring on there neck that connects to there spot on there head.
