I agree the one one the branch does seem to have thick leg compared to the others and if ya look closely it appears to have a broader square back compared to the others but It had to tell as I can't see thae tail feathers.

Most of my young cockerels around that age and size don't have their tail feathers. lol The pullets always seem to develop their tails quicker. Mine are 12 weeks old right now and still most of them have tail feathers. (Cockerels) Check out the pictures I posted about a week ago and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Quote: I agree with Jim. My females also tend to get their tail feathers before the males do. I probably have posted some pictures too in the past that would show this. From the picture posted though it is hard to tell and to say definitely that the chick in the bottom of the picture on the branch is a male is purely my best guess from what I can see in the picture. Hopefully you can get a better picture to post.

That is the one in question. I can only post one pic at a time so I apologize for the multi posts. They are all of a different chicken.
