Anyone at all have a guess? Supposed to be a heritage RIR pullet but I'm worried I have a cockerel.

We brought home 4 golden laced Wyandottes from a breeder yesterday to give our single chick some friends. Right away I can notice one chick is a little different from the other three. The chick on the left has no white on the wings and the wings are longer. The other three chicks have white tips on their wings and short, stubby wings. My daughter's friend is wanting to keep a pullet to show at the fair. Might it be safest for her to start bonding with the chick on the left? They are 4.5 days old.

Not sure of the breed but it's standing awful tall and that comb looks just like my Welsummer cockerel.

In my experience the ones who get wing and tail feathers fastest are female. Males take longer to feather out. I have a 6 week old who still hasn't feathered completely.

We raised 11 Welsummer straight runs last summer, and this held true for them as well. Our Rocks​ that were the same age, were ordered​ as female, and they also feathered faster than the roos in the Welsummer bunch. Other than the Welsummer breed, I've not had experience raising both sexes, but wondered if this held true with most breeds.. thank you for your input.

Too young to be sure, but leaning towards male.

I'd guess Speckled Sussex (possibly a mix) and cockerel but it's very young. A couple more weeks worth of feathering and a chance to grow (or not) a big comb may change my answer.

I see nothing masculine at all. It's too early to say pullet but why do you think it's a boy?
