10 week old Golden Wyandotte... Rooster or hen? Help!!

[Losobug]

This is one of the Golden Girls, my GLW at 10 weeks next to my little stinker (the unexpected Roo) Susie the speckled Sussex... I have 2 GLW, and they look just like my pic, just now, at almost 15 weeks, getting any wattles at all!

100% cockerel.

Sorry, but that's a rooster...

Where are you located, if you do not mind my asking?

Losobug, That picture really helps us see the difference. thank you for posting that for us.

We live in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

Bummer... I'd offer to buy him from you otherwise. I have GLW hens and pullets but no cockerels... He's a good looking boy, and I'd say he's going to meet SOP, so you may be able to find him a home with a breeder.

Can you tell me what SOP is? I am new to this....
Strange thing to think s/he will be a good looking boy! Our chickens are our pets... I know a lot of people raise them for meat and eggs... but for us it was just an added bonus to have fresh eggs! We are only allowed 4 to our coop so they all get LOTS of attention as I have 4 kids lol! How would you approach selling him? frankly, we would give him away, for free, to a good home.... if we knew how to go about finding one.

My sister Lucy lives in Highlands Ranch and has friends with chickens...do you know Lucy?

 

[kittynpuppy]

I don't know anyone in HR that has chickens really... so I don't know Lucy. Everyone thinks we are weird for having chickens here. People come over to our fence all the time just to see them lol! We have an Americana that lays Green beautiful eggs and people are just awed by her 'magical' ability! Isn't that funny?
