They both look like pullets to me and Welsumer. The brown leghorn looks very similar but would have white ear lobes instead of red.
This spring I had 2 Welsumer pullets from the hatchery with very extremely different growth rates... both ARE pullets, but the bigger 1 we called Giagantor...
Now that makes sense. The tall standing 1 does have the classic marking of a laced Wyandotte though it's hard to tell from the pic if it's actually gold as you expect or silver. I'm sure you can tell in person.
I wish I had doubt about your Welsumer being a cockerel. But I would definitely make...
Sorry I keep posting like a troll! :oops:
I looked up Speckled Sussex chicks and see lots that look just like yours...

The speckleed one appears to have a straight comb though? That would be incorrect for a Wyandotte... but not the first time I've seen it.
AS far as the speckles go, could be a color Wyandotte I'm unfamilliar with.. but that is NOT a gold or silver laced because they *should* look the same as...
Try fermenting your feed since they like it when you wet it. The difference in the way the poo smelled so much less bad was the convincing factor for me to stick with it when I first tried. :sick The other benefits are great as well. Check out the link in my signature line and feel free to ask...
Ah yes, the what gender /breed is one of my favorite games. :pop
I agree, lots of chicks look very similar to the Welsumer. :loveThe clues that make it easiest are comb type, skin/shank color, earlobe color (hard to see when young IMO), and other things like crests or feathered legs and how...
Farthest right, tail barely coming is your Wyandotte, should not have a straight comb but rather a rose comb. But unless the dark one with head in dish is the same, you do not have 2. Do you know which kind passed? Chick with head in bowl is NOT a Wyandotte but maybe your Welsumer. Other dark...
Your Marans looks like it might be a cockerel.
Your fist pic looks like a speckled Sussex.
And is that a Welsummer that has no tail? Did you get these sexed or straight run?
