6.5 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte chicks

[Westholme Farmstead]

I hatched out four Golden Laced Wyandotte chicks. One cockerel made himself obvious at 4 weeks of age and has since found himself a great new home. The remaining three I assumed were female but in the last few days to a week I've started having doubts about their pullet status. None of them look anywhere near as much like cockerel as their brother I've already rehomed did 2 weeks ago. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

This is Dorothy. I've had my eye on this one for a little longer because of their thick legs but almost overnight this one went from having a completely flat flesh colored comb to what we have here. I'm feeling like it's a cockerel.

Up next we have Marigold.This one has dainty legs but the comb makes me wonder. Another cockerel?

The last remaining one is Chippy. I just realized that I don't have a full picture of her. This one is exceptionally dainty and I feel it's probably a pullet. It's also much more plainly feathered than the other two are.

What do you think?

All look like girls to me!

Pullets.

Really?! That would be awesome

Dorothy looks a bit suspicious, but time will tell.

Pullets.

Thank you, that would be great if they are!

Dorothy is the one I'm most suspicious of

I just wanted to follow up (because I hate finding an old post where someone didn't) and share another picture of Dorothy. "She" has continued to redden in the face and has joined the known cockerels in their pecking order games. Definitely feel like I need to choose a new name for this one

The other two look much the same as the pictures I've already shared. I'll update when their genders have been determined.

Do you have a closeup of Dorothy’s saddle feathers?
