With rosies it is not about tail length.

As a guideline, males have spurs, females do not. Yes there have been exceptions, but the exceptions are not common, hence they are exceptions. I have never seen a female with spurs large enough for me to call them spurs. I have heard they exist however.

Female rosies tend to be larger than males. Of course, when you do not have another similar locality animal, the comparison is probably not useful for you.

Like one of the posters said, put 2 rosies together in Spring, you will know what you have.
