5 weeks old silver Laced Wyandotte

[ChickenMomsince2025]

Sorry for the blurry images. He's always moving. I think it's a boy because his tail feathers didn't start until the third week.
Also because he is always the first one to be on the next tallest places. I don't have another breed with rose comb to compare. What do you think? Is this baby boy or a girl?

So far nothing is saying cockerel. I'd guess it's a pullet.

Too young to say for sure. But I will say wyandottes do tend to feather more slowly than many other breeds commonly found in feed stores.

This is my blue laced red wyandotte pullet around the same age (4-5 weeks). She took forever to grow a tail!

Your Wyandotte is so cute! It's like she's wearing a little skirt.
All three came from a hatchery. Buff's tail started when she was a week old. I'm happy to hear everyone thinks Henry is a girl. I don't want to eat fertilized eggs and those three are so bonded, I can't imagine separating them.

Thanks! She grew up to be a gorgeous girl

Updated photos!

They'll be 8 weeks old in a couple of days. I think they're all pullets, but I've been seeing some new dynamics between them.

BO and LB used to best friends but lately Brama is scolding at BO. Just light peck but enough for her to run away. When they're free ranging, they are side by side a lot. I also noticed LB and SLW sit together in the run a lot. The other day I saw LB cleaning SLW feathers. I never saw them doing that before! (I get excited about everything they do ) It was so cute. Now I'm starting to think is there love triangle going on? Lol

Of the 3, SLW's comb and wattles are most red. I don't think LB even started growing wattles yet. BO's wattles and comb are yellow to light orange.

Are they all pullets? Is there roo in the mix?

All pullets.

I know this is old, but what hatchery? She is gorgeous. BLRWs are my favorite breed of chicken of all I've had so far.
