RIP Lacey, she was beautiful! I've been reading through these pages and have enjoyed seeing your pictures.

Here's my questionable chick, Blitz.

Case for pullet:
sold as sexed pullet
feathered out at same rate as other chickens, developed tail feathers, etc. Legs the same size as other chicks. No crowing, spurs, mounting.
Hatchery bird, heard they can be early bloomers.

Case for cockerel:
Those WATTLES!
Bold 'tude, always chasing other chicks.

here's comb and wattles

It seems like feather pattern is important? I don't know what I'm looking for though.

Is this a Golden Laced Wyandotte? Any Idea of gender? About 4 weeks old

This looks like a Silver Laced Wyandotte, actually. I'm no expert, though. See what other people think.

I still need help sexing my 8-week old GLWs. I have three and they all had bright red combs and wattles. Two look like single combs and the other rose comb. Could they all be cockerels? I was hoping for at least one Hen. Here are some photos of the one that looks rooster and the one that looks different (hopefully pullet)

Pullet????

Roo?

My Wyandotte looked exactly like yours did. He's now 12 weeks old and growing saddle feathers and getting into all sorts of trouble. From what I understand though, Wyandottes can "bloom" early and really freak you out. Were yours sold as pullets? Surely your luck can't be that bad.

Here are my two GLW girls Martha & Mildred at 1 1/2 weeks in the first shoot and 3 1/2 weeks in the second.








They grow so fast <3
