Do the neck feathers on both sides of the neck look like they are folded towards each other or overlaping in a line down the neck on both sides or do they look like smooth hair?

It is hard to tell in the photo of this white hen but the feathers are folded towards each other, she is around 8 months old in this photo I will try to get a photo of a colored hen so you can see it eaiser

See the line down the side of the neck , this is where the feathers fold towards each other or over lap each other when the hen gets up from resting or when she has had her neck hunched down by her body, it is not there all the time but can be seen often in my hens.

I am sure he knows how to sex whites , those tail feathers are throwing me off but it could be that the ones under the lacey feathers are molting and only has short ones left.
it does look like folded feathersthe way they are sticking out in your photo but being white it is really hard to be sure
