Sounds like a Polish Rooster. Originating in Europe, before the 16th century. They were once known for good egg production, but are now almost strictly ornamental.
They come in several colors.
It also could be a silky cross breed.
I will give you a link to a good site to try better identifying your bird.
This description is applicable to many different breeds of rooster and they really is no way for me to guess what breed you have. Best I can offer is to give you a link to a breed chart with pictures of each breed and let you search through the pictures.

at about 8 weeks old or so they start developing small differences.

They might be more aggressive, or even start to rooster when they are young. if they rooster, they are a rooster- and it is loud and might be obnoxious.
Yes. The long tail feather often drop off during the first molt when all the roosters feathers are replaced by new one's. The new long feathers will take more time to regrow so be patient, they will come back. Many roosters lose the long feathers due to picking from the hens while they roost at night

A chicken sickle is a group of bladed Chinese weapons that can be used as a single or double weapon. They include the Chicken-claw and Chicken-saber. The function of these are offensive and defensive in protecting one's property. Another chicken sickle is the long, draping curved sickle feathers in the tail of roosters. Many times these feathers are green, a color you will not find in the hen. There is not a specific function for these feathers except to identify a rooster versus a hen.
If the tail feathers have dark horizontal stripes, it's probably a Blue Jay.

Yes, but hen tails are different to rooster tails. The shape and size of a chicken's tail depends on it's age, breed and gender. As a general rule of thumb roosters tail feathers tend to be longer and arch downwards, a hens tail feathers are straighter and tend to sweep upwards.
Yes, a male peecock sheds or molts its tail feathers to get bigger ones. Kind of like White tail deer.
The Rooster/cockerel will have a larger comb and waddles. He will also have longer tail feathers and if you look on the inside of the legs they also have bumps where they'll grow spurs.
Well they get on the nest and start clucking kind of softly. They stick up the tail feathers and in about three minutes, the egg drops. If they are what is called broody they will saty pn the egg, for 21 days approx. till it hatches if it has been mated with a rooster. Chickens do no need a rooster to lay eggs.
He has 3 tail feathers.
