8 Week Old Silver Laced Wyandotte - Pullet?

[leskfish]

Pullet 100%. The neck feathering does not turn black at the base of the neck (which at this point most male Wyandottes would have). Pinking this early is pretty normal for wyandottes looked like my girl at around that age.

would you take a look at my post? I have one with the black at the base of the neck and one that has a comb but the pattern at the neck doesn't break like the other... https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...t-very-different-from-each-other-roo.1582165/

This is a male SLW. Look for white patches.

Cockerel. Its allready got sickle feathers and starting to get saddles.

Okay I was wrong. I did more research on SLW and learned how to actually sex them. Everyone else is correct it is a female.

I bought from a reputable local chicken hatchery February 4th as a sexed pullet. 8 weeks old now. It was the only SLW, but have 2 GLW.

Had slow feathering but I know SLW can have the slow feathering gene. It isn't bigger that the GLW, comb and wattles aren't any bigger or redder.

Has some green iridescent feathers coming in on the tail but I know some breeds have this.

So....is it a pullet or cockerel. Or do I need to wait a few more weeks. *NOTE: raising chicks in the 'burbs. Keeping a few from this batch and the rest or going to our neighbor at our farm. Cannot keep roosters, hence why I'm trying to ID this oneView attachment 3453712View attachment 3453711View attachment 3453712View attachment 3453713View attachment 3453714View attachment 3453715View attachment 3453716

Hackle feathers are giving off cockerel.
