What a cute little booger! I don't know anything about wyandottes, but I do have a lavender english orp that took almost 10 months to lay, wasn't positive on gender until 9 weeks old, and she has pretty nice feathers. @Poultrybonkers knows about wyandottesIt's a color not breed, but I'd love to see pictures at any age of other Lavender Wyandotte's. This is my first, Lilikoi, now 4 weeks. I'm so curious as to what the big differences between Lavender Orpington and Lavender Wyandotte will be. Easier to guess sex at an earlier age or just as tough as Orps? Feather quality, splash look or solid color, etc. etc. Any pics and/or experience greatly appreciated! TIA.

Thanks! That's why I'm so curious if this will be any easier than with Orps! There is a thread somewhere, where a Lavender Wyandotte had even the most expert guessers, guessing until something like 6 months. Nice that you could tell at 9weeks!! My HOPE is that this is a girl, she's from Privett. I'm going to try to find that thread now, lol!
Oh goodness she is a cute one!It's a color not breed, but I'd love to see pictures at any age of other Lavender Wyandotte's. This is my first, Lilikoi, now 4 weeks.

I know what one you're talking about, I followed that thread and it ended up being a cockerelWell this is not the thread I was thinking of but...... makes the same point! This one sure did look like a cockerel to me! I would just really love to think I'm not going to be stumped for this long, on the Wyandotte....
