That depends on the breed. Some breeds (particularly hybrids) have different colors on them, or something like black combs on girls and red on boys. Out of the other breeds, you can tell quite early on most breeds with "hard" feathers, that is standard smooth feathered chooks (chickens), not Silkies etc. The females get their feathers quicker, by the time they are three days old the girls distinctly have more feathers coming in their wings and the boys have hardly any. By the time the girls are fully covered with feathers the boys are still half bald. This works on all the hard feathered breeds I have seen, including Australorp, Rhode island red, leghorns, Sebrights, and various mongrels. However this will not work on breeds such as Silkies or frizzle, and it doesn't work on standard Orpingtons either, these are not hard feathered varieties and don't work the same. With these you have to wait until they start to look like roosters and hens. Also: universal for all breeds but very hard to tell: When startled, the females will "duck and cover", the males will stand up tall and sound the alarm.
Yes, that is the standard covering of a bird.
The standard collective nouns for feathers are:a clump of feathersa tickle of feathers
Six metres isn't really thin. A standard badminton court is 6.1 metres wide, so six metres is roughly as thin as a badminton court.
The advantage of a foam pillow, over a feather pillow is the comfort. Foam pillows are now made to form to each individuals head, neck, and sleeping style. Foams pillows are left often allergenic, and a standard foam pillow cost much less than some feathered pillows, such as goose-down.
