Blue Laced Red Wyandotte-saddle feathers?

[Ash56]

These two are almost 5 months old. I have always thought the one I am now questioning was a hen because compared to her (seemingly) twin brother, she looks so dainty. But..she has saddle feathers? Is this saddle feathers I am seeing or something else lol. Because if she is a now a he we will have to change her name. Her brother is named Goose, thanks to my sister. The smaller one, well her name is….Girl Goose

Anyway, they were both born on the same day and they are almost 5 months old. And when comparing them to each other you would think Girl Goose is a girl but she also has a long tail feather that is incredibly suspicious. Opinions are Wyandottes just weird and hard to tell? The pictures are from yesterday and the top is Goose (a crowing, hen-mounting cockerel)and the bottom is Girl on both. I have plenty more pictures if anyone wants them. Thank you!

Just some more pictures of her. I know Goose is a boy, just added those for comparison

Girl goose needs a new name. “She” is a male. Sometimes a male doesn’t act so male when another male is around acting obviously like a male. Some mature more slowly. Maybe it’s also bc they’ve been around each other since they were hatched.

I agree Girl Goose is a boy. I also think both of your geese are not pure BLR Wyandottes. They look more Blue than BLR.

I thought the same for a while but I think they are pure bred now. Idk why but the BLRW this woman breeds are extremely slow to get lacing. I will share a pic of dad and mom later. Goose just now has begun getting red on his wings.. I’ll also get a good picture of that as well. They’re molting too. They could still be mixed but i do trust the lady so if they are mixed i know it wasn’t intentional. One of the Wyandottes we hatched came out black! And she is their sister.

This is their sister. I don’t have any recent pictures of her but she looks just like mom

He's definitely a cockerel.

it’s a sad realization that all but one of the Wyandotte eggs we bought turned out to be boys lol. We can’t keep “Girl” Goose now because we already have a head rooster and Goose was going to be number 2.

You could keep a second male, if you really wanted. Just gotta make sure you have enough ladies for both.
