13 week silver laced wyandotte

Hopefully one last post about this one!
Hen? Roo?
We just got rid of an obvious roo who
Crowed at 6 weeks old! This one acts nothing like him!

Sadly, judging by the upright stance, it does indeed remind me of a rooster, but there's no guarantee that I'm correct. Here's my almost 17 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte pullet for reference.

She was about 15 weeks old here.

Hope this helps!

Looks like a rooster to me, but I'm not an expert tho... It's very handsome!

The feathering looks female to me. I think by that age, you should be seeing a white patch on the shoulders and obvious pointy saddle feathers? And my SLW cockerel had comb and wattles that size at 6 weeks old...sooo...I'm going with female.

What is non white coverts? I have three silver laced wyandottes, two have thicker legs but the feathers are the same for all three (aside from coloring differences), they all have rounded feathers. First time chicken mom and just trying to figure out if I have two roos one roo or just a runt hen only because once bigger I don’t want them to try and “overmate” the smaller one.
