[marnold]

UPDATE: Now the SLW's are 10 weeks old. I have two and I can't tell whether they are cockerels or pullets. What do ya'll think?

This is Dottie

This is Agatha.

Cockerels or Pullets? Thanks!!!

I would say first one is a cockerel and second is a pullet. I also have 4 SLW about 12 weeks and none of them have a wattle that red or pronounced. beautiful birds anyhow =]

They both look like cockerels to me

They look like cockerels to me too. Pullets should have nice even lacing. Boys usually have big splotches of white over the shoulders.

I think both are cockerels.

Well, thanks, guys! It looks like the cockerels have it!!

BOTH ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL ANDDDDD DUNDUNDUNNNNN COCKERELS. I HAVE A FEW SLW AND THE PULLETS ARE VERY DEFINED IN THEIR LACING ACROSS THE CHEST. COCKERELS TEND TO BE A LITTLE MORE MOTTLED I GUESS YOU CAN SAY. VERY BEAUTIFUL THOUGH

Can you post front shots of the combs?

I am not so confident they are boys. Usually by 10 weeks the males have more comb and wattle development. I would wait and see a few more weeks.
