I have what I believe to be a Welsummer Bantam, a black sex-link, and what is looking like a silver laced wyandotte around 8 to 10 weeks. I'm fairly certain the welsummer is a pullet, but I've never had a bantam before so I'm not positive. I had a hard time finding photos of young welsummer bantams on google.
My main concern is that the SLW is a rooster. I have 2 other SLW hens and I remembered their combs turning red sooner than I expected...but I do not remember them being THIS red around this age. Also, the developing wattles are making me nervous. They are definitely on top of the pecking order and quite a bit heavier than the black sex link in the photo. Not sure if that matters here. The Silver laced wyandotte was actually sold to me as a gold laced, which doesn't seem right; as well as the crooked toes...anyway, if anyone has any thoughts they'd like to share it would be much appreciated! Thank you.
