10 week old Wyandotte Roo or hen??

[ShansChickies]

10 weeks old I’m curious if I have a roo? It’s always had a bigger comb but I noticed some green feathers coming in. What do you guys think?

Any healthy bird with dark feathers will have a green sheen to it, however, that comb and wattles are pretty prominent.

No crowing by 10 weeks, I'd be thinking pullet.

I wasn’t sure how old they have to be before you can tell for sure. They’re supposed to be pullets but this one has always looked a little different from the others

Could be a boy. As previous poster says, they are mighty wattles and comb. I'd be expecting to see the behaviors and such by 8+ weeks. At least that's what I've found for myself.

Oh okay. I thought roosters only had green on their tails

It's more noticeable in roos because their tails have more area.
