-
Tails, combs/wattles and legs.
Cocks - More/faster development in the comb/wattles, longer tail growing downwards, longer legs. Pointy hackle feathers.
Girls - Small combs, tails sticking up, slightly shorter legs, smaller feet.
As always, depends on the breed, but these I what I go for as basic pointers.
