10 week Silver-Laced WYs…. Roo or Hens?! 😬

[CrazyChixMama]

We’ve leaned towards hens due to their behavior and coloring since we brought them home, however over the last few weeks one has developed a much brighter waddle/comb, so we’ve been debating, while the other is still hard to tell. It does seem as though the one with the brighter coloring is starting to crow with our for sure Roo but have been told that it could be mimicking him. First two images are of the iffy, last two anre of the one we lean Roo for. Anyone got any idea?
(They’ve been named but obviously that may need to change so I bypassed that here as Claudia clucker might be a Claude, and Chuck Clucker who knows we could be wrong there too )

Both are cockerels.

That’s what we’re thinking….. guess Claudia will have to be Claude and we will have to debate… get more hens… or find him a new home

Seconded. Besides the rather red combs, the solid silver feathering (without lacing) that is coming in on their shoulders is roo-specific in Wyandottes.

I’ll keep that in mind for the future too! Thank you for that info!
