8 week old Silver Laced Wyandottes Pullet or Cockerel?

[ScenicViews]

I know everyone asks....

I am getting ready to put the chickies in their coop this weekend. 8 weeks is too old to have in your basement! But, do not want to relocate any roos! I have a home for them, but, I am not sure what their gender is.

Any assistance with gender would greatly be appreciated!!
This is Wynnie and Patsy..or is it Winston and Patrick?

Thank you in advance!!!

Neither of them are screaming cockerel, so I think they are pullets for now.

They're both looking like cockerels to me. Do you have a photo of Wynnie from the front?

Oops, I wrote the same thing twice

That's a lot of wattle development for an 8 week old pullet. They could still go either way. I would wait it out a bit longer.

Thank you.. yes, yes, the waiting game..

Here is a couple from a week or so ago




Yes the red in this bottom one is making me wonder...

They do love to have their picture taken...I am just not a photographer, they move once my camera gets them focused..

In the bottom picture the chick reminds me more of a cockerel.

I think I can see saddle feathers coming in on the last pic. You should check them both over and see if you can tell that way. Roosters' saddle feathers will be thin, pointy, and sort of shiny/irridescent.
