3 SLW 8 Weeks Old- Gender Help!

[Lau]

Hello! I got 4 chicks this year and I believe 3 of them all the SLW are cockerels. They are all 8 weeks old. Our GLW I am pretty sure is a pullet. I have a hard time believing I would be lucky enough to get 3 roos out of 4 chicks I picked up. Would love to hear some thoughts! Thanks!

Do you mean silver laced wyandottes? Because they look like barred rock cockerels to me.

How old?
I hate to report you have one gold laced Wyandotte, cockerel, and the rest are barred rocks... cockerels.

The GLW may be a female yet, sometimes the females have red combs at a younger age...but I agree that your SLW are in fact barred rock cockerels :/
Where did you get them?

They were hatched March 7th so 8 weeks.

I purchased them from Rural Supply in Los Gatos, CA. Thank you for your reply.

No problem. Feed stores will often get their breeds and genders mixed up in the bins, so this isn't something we've never heard of unfortunately.

I was told they are Silver Laced Wyandottes but after more research it seems they might be Barred Rock. I added some additional pictures I was able to get of them today.

I don’t mind the fact that they are a different breed than I had originally thought but what I am worried is that all three of them might be cockerels. I added some more pictures too.

I added some additional pictures. I just say very difficult to photograph. Now I am just worried about keeping them all safe from each other if they are indeed all cockerels.
