Hi there! I'm beginning to be suspicious of the SLWs, too. They may be trying to confuse us all
I have 3, all sexed as pullets by the hatchery, and all have combs and wattles. They are otherwise the henniest-looking girls, but there are their red combs and wattles.
Seems unlikely that all three were sexed wrong.
Hmmm. This seems to be at least one variation of the breed. I'm NO EXPERT, btw. This is my first experience owning SLWs, but I wouldn't cry "ROO!" just yet . . .
I'm pretty attached to mine, so I'm crossing my fingers that they just develop earlier sometimes. The pictures I've seen of mature SLW hens have quite impressively large, red wattles and combs (not as large as the roos, of course) and they have to develop some time . . .
Anyone else out there with pullets whose combs and wattles developed early?
Anyway, to answer your question, your SLW looks more like a pullet than mine do. For what that's worth
