Sexual Challenge!! (UPDATE with more questions, pg 2)

[thechickman04]

well my friend has had two GLW roosters and has had to sell both of them....because every time he walked into the coop they would spur his leg

i have a glw 5 week old and I have realized over the past few days but he is very agressive also have 2 5 week old slw that have turned int roos and not as agressive but DOES NOT like attention. I know they will be the first ones we cull. Mine are jumpy and just like be left alone they don't even like when I reach my hand in and clean up.

OK, just to make everybody crazy, I have to ask:

What is the most important feature you look at when sexing chicks? Obviously the pink comb and descending wattles make the GLW look like a cockerel. But that chick does have a very long tail and it lacks pointed hackle feathers. Don't these two things say pullet??

The second EE chick, OTOH, appears to have pointed hackle feathers and a shorter tail (in person, they look more pointed than the picture shows). And EEs have very little comb/wattle, even as adults, right?

I'm just curious. I'm still looking at these chicks every day, and wondering if I could have 2 roosters (or no roosters)!!

Don't take my questioning personally, please. I do the same thing to myself--constantly.
