7 1/2 week old Golden-Laced Wyandotte... hopefully pullet?

Here's a photo of a cockerel and pullet from my flock at 8 weeks old.

While I can't be sure about who are boys and who are girls, I do agree that wyandottes seem to redden at an earlier age, even the pullets.

Updated pictures! S/he is now 9 weeks and 2 days old:




















Thoughts? Still too soon to tell?

Updated pictures! S/he is now 9 weeks and 2 days old: She is definitely a pulley she looks just like mine did when she was that age. Mine is currently 15 weeks and still looks about the same as yours just slightly bigger in size. Thoughts? Still too soon to tell?

Still looks like a pullet to me.

The GLW sure looks like a pullet to me. I have a 19-week-old pullet who looked very much like yours at that age.

Has your hen started laying yet. Mine is 15 weeks old and I don't know when to start expecting eggs from her. I'm a newb at this and still learning this stuff.

No, mine won't start laying until around 5-6 months. I'm hoping by Christmas, but since it will be chilly then, I guess it might not be until spring? Not that it gets terribly cold where we are (I need long sleeves for about 2 weeks in February) but still... Even at 15 weeks you probably have a ways to go before eggs!
