Case closed. My Silver-Laced Wyandotte is no rooster after all!!! She's about 6 months now and is laying lovely little brown eggs. Here she is...

Thanks for posting pix of your SLW! She really was red at an early age. I guess that's just the breed. Very pretty lacing btw.

Glad these pix helped. I was ready to rehome my SLW because of the first roo votes on this thread, so I'm really grateful for all the votes for pullets, esp. when the comments come with a reason for the opinion and from people who have experience with SLW's in particular. Now I've been able to...

Thank you, har100! I just can't decide gender with this breed. The feather color on my SLW seems pullet-ish to me, without those big splotches of white on the wings, but the reddish wattles and aggressive behavior seems roo-ish. I think I'll wait a little longer to see more features come out...

Yes, we'll keep it a while longer. We waited 3 months to let go of our last rooster, so until it wakes up the neighbors, it's got a home with us.
