6 Week Silver Laced Wyandottes

[valleyacres21]

These may be too young to tell yet, but I figured I’d post anyway because there are drastic differences between the two, and they were hatched from the same parents, the same day!
Chick 1 is the red chick, whom I have a sneaking suspicion is a rooster. Hence, the red box. This chicken stands like a rooster, and is always pecking at the others and starting fights. It is also redder than his hatch mate, and does not look as beautiful. The red chick also has a lot of feathering to go.
Chick 2 is the yellow chick, whom I believe to be a hen (or hope to be) this one does not have the same body shape as the red chick. This one also is less red in the combs and wattles, and is technically already feathered all over and looks gorgeous! Compared to the red one (hatched same day).
There is a difference in the shade of red between the two as well on the head, and the pattern in feathering is not the same.

**Please note that the SLW pullets also redden faster than other breed of chickens so it’s not a great indicator of sexing**

I need help, I’m stumped!

I'd give them a couple of more weeks. As you stated, Wyandotte pullets can show a lot of comb and color early. So it's not really clear one way or the other with these.

I would guess you have a pair, based solely on the coloring/pattern. Both of my pullets had a more pronounced pattern and coloring just as yours, the other I'm guessing is a Roo, but would like to know if we are correct in a few weeks, keep us posted.

Thank you! I’ll give ‘em another 3 or 4 weeks

Pullet-seem like a quick maturing one but my guess is still Pullet.
