It's way to early to tell. Wyandotte's can be tricky to sex. My neighbors GLW did not start to feather until 5 weeks or so. She had very tiny wing feathers for the longest time. Some hens are very slow to feather.
You might only have one boy, but you'll have to wait a few more weeks. Boys usually have big wattles first and a very wide reddened comb.
Good luck!

i have 3 w red wattles, none have the red combs yet but only 1 with light wattle and that is the one that is slow to feather out..... does this mean the 3 are roo's?

Oh no!

I sure hope you have more then one girl in there. Wattle sign this young is not good.

Give them a week or two to grow, if they are boys, they grow big wattles fast. Their combs will be redder.

However, all my chicks had red combs early. 6-8 weeks of age and so far I've had all pullets. I think it's from extra vitamins and probiotics I give them.
