Am I a boy???

[robross]

Yes please! I want to know how it turns out for you!
Best of luck!

Yes, it's the combs, the large thick legs and the shape of the tails, they are starting to curl on the ends.

I really wanted 2 BLR hens, and it looks like I got 2 roosters instead! Well that just stinks. I'll let y'all know what happens.

look like cockerels

I am going to have to agree that they are roos also. :/

I am going with roo's. WHY? Here is a SLW at 8 weeks... Notice wattles and combs... NON EXISTENT at that time...

Here is a GLW at 12 weeks... or 3 months...

So, going by that fact that your wyandottes are 8 weeks, and have both pronounced comb and wattles already, and if they were pullets... still need 2 more months until they start to show up...
At 6 months, this pullet has only just gotten to POL, and her wattles and comb have finally developed.

And now at a year...

They are both a year in this foto. it was only taken last month, and you can see the comb and wattle on the silver... Well anyway...

You got your self to lovely boys...

Thanks robross. I'm really hoping that since they both have red combs and thick legs that maybe it's just the breed and not indicative of their sex. I would hate to think that in the "pullets" bin, I pulled out 2 boys

It happens. Sexing isn't always perfect...

thanks everyone! Especially NovaAman for the great photos. Well I guess we have our answer. Anyone near SW Washington want 2 really sweet, very people friendly BLR Wyandottes Cockerels lol?

If you haven't joined the WA thread yet, some one there may be interested.

I have three GLW's and they had visible wattles by 6-8 weeks if I remember correctly. They're now close to 11-12 weeks I think and they all still look like hens to me. The combs on yours look bigger than my girls have even now, but I don't think I'd completely give up hope that they could still be hens. I'm not familiar with that type of Wyandotte, however.
