I have been told that Wyandottes grow their combs in really early and so I’ve been holding out hope that Rexie is a pullet and just growing really fast. I am also still hoping that Betty White is a Betty...and since silkies are notoriously hard to sex I’m trying to remain hopeful haha. Thoughts?? I feel like the Silkie is a roo though :-(

Agree that the Wyandotte is likely a boy. Betty may still be a pullet, though I agree looking boyish as well. Hold out a bit longer if you can, I did not see ages mentioned, they look around 6 weeks-ish. 😊
Yeah, my gut has been telling me that they are boys 😩 They are about 7 weeks yes, nice call! So I know the Silkie is way early—based on mannerisms I lean boy but may just be a more confident hen. The Wyandotte I was pretty hopeful was a pullet, but she/he has grown a lot in the last two weeks, the comb is getting redder, and she/he has done a couple things to show domination that made me more sure of the signs of a cockerel. I can have roosters where I live, but as of now it’s looking like I will have 3 Roos and 3 hens...I’m pretty sure that ratio won’t end well once they reach maturity! 😩😩 they’re all so pretty and they’re good little chickens. :-( I think Rexie will be a beautiful rooster too...blah :) thank you!
