8 Week Old SLW, Roo or Pullet?

[Emma-Leigh]

Hi all

I have 7 wyandotte chicks, there are 2 that I'm 90% certain are Roo's and 4 I think are pullets. But this little SL one is a bit hard, the comb and wattles make me think pullet but the feathering for some reason makes me think roo

Would love too hear what you's all think.

SLW far right, pretty sure the one on the far left is roo. Pullet in the middle





For comparison this is the larger of the 2 suspected roo's, has larger and redder comb and wattles.

With a comb that red at that age he is young rooster.

I agree!

Far left in first pic is roo. Last picture is definate roo. I think the SLW is a roo too but I have no experience with wyandottes.

Here is a picture of our past young ones-the pullet is on the left, cockerel on the right. The boys usually will have more black color around their necks than the girls. Plus, his comb is pinker.

Just updating this thread, the silver laced chick is a pullet and should be laying any day now
