Sexing Silver Laced Wyandottes

[JDFunnyFarm]

Hi there

I recently got two Silver Laced Wyandottes, both were supposedly sexed as hens when I purchased them, however I’m recently noticing a lot of distinct differences between the two they are roughly 7-8 weeks old now.

Hoping to get some insight into which may be a hen and which may be a rooster based off of their facial markings, as well as #2 has a lot more white “lace” then #1

Thanks!

From what I can see in this photo, they are both pullets. Males usually have big red combs early, and they often have white patches at the shoulders.

I agree. I see two pullets

What did they end up being?? I’ve got one little slw that I’m comparing to your cuties. All other ones I’ve found online have the straight comb, but mine has the rosebud like yours
