The Silver Laced Wyandotte Thread

[Faith Chick]

Males look different. More black(less lacing) around the neck. And, they tend to feather in slower on their backs. Both your birds also, have darker combs than a cockerel would have at this age.

Thanks, I sure hope so!
I have a nice BLR cockerel he needs some nice ladies.
Out of 16 chicks I raised this summer, 12 turned out to be Roos!!!!!!
I'm the Rooster queen.

Hi I am wondering if this is for sure a pullet she is just over 10 weeks old. she looks the same as my gold laced but she is a little bigger and they are the same age I am not sure if that is a sign that she is actually a cockerel? they have started molting their juvenile feathers and the lacing is starting to really come in pretty their combs and waddles are about the same as well just over all the silver laced is larger. thanks for the help

She looks just like the one I thought was a roo, until my rooster started mating her and she began to lay eggs. I am not sure, but my guess is hen

Sorry, looked at the pictures again and changed my mind.

Can someone tell me if I have Pullets or Roos? They are 17-18 weeks old.

At 17-18 weeks old these are all pullets getting ready to start laying. My firs egg came from a 20 week old pullet.

We just got 3 SLW's in our newest chick order. First time for this breed and I'm loving them already! They're a little over a week old and have tons of personality. Here's a picture of one of them.
