Am I a boy or girl SLW?

[Sphinx]

Paula was sold to me as a pullet silver laced wyandotte. I don't know her exact age, but I'd guess she was hatched around the 24th of April, so she's around 5 weeks old now. I'm fairly new to chickens, so my only other chicks are the same age as her, or about 4 weeks older. My teenager chicks are white leghorns, and gender was super easy to guess on them.

So, what say you experts? I'm thinking pullet, but I really, really, really want her to be a her, so there may be wishful thinking involved.

I'd say pullet!

Definitely a girl.

Just to compare, here is a pic of my Golden Laced Roo at exactly 5 weeks.

And here is a hen

Thanks Jasmine- your comparative picture actually answered similar questions I had on my GLW and SLWs.

I agree, seeing those pictures was incredibly helpful! Paula's comb seemed pretty dark red, but when I compare her with a known rooster of the same age, it really isn't that dark. I was comparing her to the EE in the pen with her, and she is redder than the EE.
