I have 4 BLRW chicks, and was wondering when I will be able to tell the difference between girl/boy. I know the roo's feather differently than the hens color pattern wise, but right now they all look the same

Here's a pic of my babies (I'm not expecting any one to be able to tell me pullet/cockerel yet, just wanted to post a pic of them for you

As chicks feather out, the boys seem to get a tail after the girls and when they do feather out, the boys have pointy ends of their feathers, especially on the outside of the thighs and shoulders. The girls have rounded ends of their feathers in those same places. You can't really tell from a small bump where the spur would be cause some girls end up w/those, too;)
