Here’s another gender question!
I have 2 SL who are both supposed to be pullets but look different. Can anyone tell me based off of coloring?

They are different in coloring, but that is not going to tell you gender at this stage. It's just natural variability of hatchery chicks.

Around 6 weeks is a good time to start determining gender. The good news is they both have small combs and wattles, so are probably females. But not for sure yet.
 
Update on both of the chicks!
Any new guesses?

I’m not sure, they could be mixed. I got them from a feed store but they were just advertised as SLW

They don't really look like the SLW pullets I've had, but I've only had a few so I'm nowhere near an expert. I'd be curious to see what they look like when they're grown.

They're looking pullet-y to me, though.
 
I looked at the four photos at the start and went 'Girl. Girl. Girl. Girl' And then remembered that wyandottes have rosecombs so I'm not sure.
