11 week old silver laced wyandotte. Need help sexing it!!!

[ford087]

Hi,
I'm new to this. I've hatched this silver laced wyandotte and because i live in town I need to find out the sex of this little chook. If anyone can give me some tips on sexing them when they are older, it would be greatly appreciated. I took these photos inside so I could get better lighting. Thank you

That's a pullet

Has the incorrect comb for the breed, but I assume you got her from a hatchery?

 

[ford087]

Yes, I got the fertile eggs from a hatchery. Oh thank you, that's good news. Should the comb be flatter?

she has a single comb, they should be a pea comb. but this happens often in hatchery birds

They should actually have a rose comb

oops.... sorry, new it wasn't a single!

 

[ford087]

does anyone else think that its a pullet?

coloring appears to be of a pullets but the redness of the comb has me a bit iffy...in 5 more weeks you should be able to tell for sure via feather development....i say pullet for now

I'm going with a pullet also. I agree, comb is a bit red for age too.
