I was going to start a thread but see you have some Silver Laced that are the same age as mine. It's my first time with Wyandotte and not sure what to look for. Some say the comb will develop faster on cockerels. Because they have rosecomb, I wonder if it's like the Easter Eggers where the males will have a bumpy comb (3 rows) and the female a smoother one?
I hope it's ok that I add a couple of photos of mine and keep this thread going?
I have 6 and only 1 has a comb that is starting to turn red, so I've got my eye on that one:
Some of the other ones:
Then this one has lots of white...does lots of white mean roo coloring? Is that a stupid question? Hehe.

At that age, the size and redness of the comb and wattles is the determining indicator whether they are male or female. Looking at your pics, your only cockerel is the one in the top picture.
