The one on the left definitely a pullet. The right one is interesting but I tend to think it's also a female. For a roo it should have more comb development at 4 weeks. On the other hand it does have some color in the comb and wattels. I tentatively lean toward it being a pullet.4 week old. Hen or roo? On the right below is the same chick.

My daughter's favorite chick (she proudly named "Lavender Sweets") is a silver laced Wyandotte just about 2 weeks old now and I swear this thing hasn't grown. Still the same fuzzy downy little thing with no tail feathers and finally some wing feather development but should I be concerned? We have no idea of gender either (although we hope for a girl we will be happy with a Roo as well)...any opinions?
Waffles the Ameraucana (that's what I was told I don't know the difference between EE) on the left and Lavender Sweet the SLW on the right. They are the same age

Thank you...that is what i was leaning towards after all the research I've been doing on the subject. Very timid little thing, but bribing with mealworms seems to do the trick. I'm very anxious to see how he/she grows!

It's a roo. The red comb is a give away
