Am I actually a girl?

Definitely a cockerel on the light one.

Good idea with the book!

I have no idea, but I will tell you that twice I've had white chickens where they're combs looked real red early on and it turned out they were actually girls. One fiught with everybody I could have sworn it was going to be a rooster. several people on here told me it was a hen though and it turned out they were right.

Those were most likely white leghorns, who lay early and have huge combs as adults. Wyandottes have smaller rose combs that stay almost completely flat on females until they near POL.

Thanks so much guys! I'm pretty happy about this one, this once I was definitely hoping he'd be a rooster! I dub thee Alfred, king-to-be of the flock.

Alfred is a perfect name for him.

They were EE in with my easier HRIR.

I'm watching this thread because I've got an 8 week old blue wyandotte silkie mix and it is turning out to be red laced, so I'm learning a lot from this thread. I think mine is a boy because the lacing is appearing on the wings first. It also has some random black feathers coming in.
