7 month old Columbian Wyandotte-rooster or hen?

And are these the beginning of spurs?

Yes... But hens can grow spurs too. I have a hen who grows one spur.

Thanks! I will update when I know for sure. It’s just so weird!
I cracked open some eggs earlier and posted some pics a page or two back on this thread. Do any look fertilized to you?

I can't quite tell from your photo. I believe with a fertilized egg there's the disk, and than there's an extra circle around the outside. A non fertile egg just has a disk.

I have a couple of hens with spurs.

Its not common, but it happens.

I zoomed in on the yolk that looks different than the other two. Is this better? Does it look fertilized?

I only see a disk. It will look more like a bullseye if fertile, but it's harder to tell by a photo.

Okay, thank you for checking! I ate them already so I can’t add any new photos.

You didn't pull a switcheroooo on us now did you @5crazies ??
Here's your first photo from 10/18, then the photo of the same bird today. Big difference. The one from Oct looks like a cockerel, now in Feb., it's harder to tell!
I agree, he should have more saddle feathers, the tail is off and the comb looks different too.
Time will tell how this turns out, will be interesting for sure.

Hard to see the eggs really well, so we'll have to look at those again.
