18-Week-Old BLM Wyandotte I am so confused

[Saum Creek]

Black in the tail feather means cockerel, no? But no saddle feathers? And light pink comb/waddles that came in early but never got bigger? OY.

I think she’s a pullet! My BLRW cockerel was HUGE at 18 weeks, especially his feet and wattles. Beautiful bird!

This is a lovely pullet!

I'm so happy you guys think she's a girl. All the other times I've posted, everyone thought it was a cockerel! Just goes to show.

As you’ve probably already been informed Wyandottes are incredibly tricky because of their rose comb and that pullets combs pink up quite early confusing many people. At this point at 18 weeks if she was a boy you would know! Congratulations! I have one that looks almost like her and they are just awesome!

Girl.
Is that a crest, or does she have the craziest dang eyebrows I've ever seen on a chicken?

I DID read that which led me to remain optimistic. Hoorah for girls! I love my rooster, he is a sweet bub, but I only have 6 hens and couldn't keep another rooster - it was heartbreaking to think of Opal being a boy!

She IS a Wilco chicken so lord only knows. She is also a loner and hates being picked up - she screams like her head is on the chopping block when I just want to give her a smooch!

She is gorgeous, she’s got incredible lacing in her feathers. Did you get her from a breeder?
