Some of my week old baby chicks have longer wing feathers

[NoNeck]

I have 6 baby chicks that hatched on the 7th and 8th of December. Two of those baby chicks have noticeably longer wing feathers and a little tail. I know they are only very young but I cant help but think that this is a very clear indication that I will have 2 roosters among my 6 babies. What do you think?
All 6 are australops (4 black and 2 grey). The two i am curious about are both black ones.
You will see the other baby chicks in the photos as it was hard to only get photos of the 2 black ones in question, however by looking at the photos im sure you can tell which 2 i am talking about

Feather sexing is very complicated, and most of the time does not work.
However, when it does work, its actually the other way round, so the chicks that are fast to feather in are pullets, and the slow ones are cockerels.
I will let someone else go in to details, because I can't remember exactly how it works.
They are all very cute!

That's the extent of my knowledge, too. I'm interested to see what others say. Maybe we can make hypotheses and see what happens!

Cute chicks!!!

Also just realised that one of the black chicks with the longer feathers has a noticeable comb. The others are yet to show their comb.

It's likey just the different genetics working out, it's a bit early yet.

True feather sexing only works in specific crossbreeds. These are not feather sexable. That being said, many times pullets feather in faster then cockerels. Does that mean every chick that feathers out quickly is a pullet? No, but due to this trend it is more likely that those two may be. The others could be pullets as well. Time will tell

I've never had a quick to wing feather chick become a cockerel. That three to four week age is very telling. Legs are very vocal too.

Caveat there is they must be the same breed to compare.

These are two of my summer babies. Both Black Australorps. One has a tail and one does not. Very confusing for about 6 weeks - they are about a week old here. Both turned out to be beautiful pullets. By contrast, our cockerel at about 2 weeks old, seen in the 3rd picture. Knew he was a cockerel almost immediately. I waffled back and forth for weeks on my two girls. By six weeks old, I knew the 2 were girls - 4/5 picture- with help from this forum. At this age there is still a noticeable difference in their tails. Still today - 17 weeks - we know which is Tails and which is Heads. Now I have four babies again born Dec 5 and 6 - last pic - and I get to do it all over again. Waiting in the hardest part.

I couldn't tell what was what when I got 2 australorps chicks (2 months ago)but by reading various posts made by other members I'm fairly confident now they're pullets(thankfully)
