I thought if wing feathers were "straight" rather than "rounded," they were roos? I have five and a couple look like 408 and a couple like 326 with long tail feathers! Help!

If they are younger than 12 weeks that rule doesn't really apply. When chicks are growing they get all kinds of wonky feathers that they eventually molt or grow into. Different feather patterns can also give illusions of "pointed" or "rounded" male/female feathers. Looking at comb development is the best way to sex chicks.
