Week 7 update:

Cluster of my chooks ..

It's fairly warm where I am, so not sure whether slow feathering is a result of the warm weather.

I still vote pullet. And I don't want to alarm you, but you might have a tiny bald eagle thrown in the mix. Super cute!

Here is my SLW at a little over 7 weeks old. Her comb grew quick at first then slowed down at 7 weeks and then grew again at 10 weeks. She was slow feather and then at 7 weeks old she began to really start feathering.

I am not an expert but I would recommend being patient. When we bought our last chicks, we had silver laced in there and every day I was convinced I had males based on some characteristic or wives tales, but they all turned out female. Usually by 13 weeks or so you can confirm. Best of luck to you! Hope they are pullets.

Wyandottes tend to pink up early and both females/males tend to be slow to fully feather. Both of my Wyandottes pinked up early, feathered slowly and combs at 7 weeks look like yours do.
