Hey guys,
I bought these from a local breeder a few weeks ago, and she said they were about 2 weeks old when I bought them. We hoping for all or mostly hens! It was cold and rainy today and no one wanted to stand up! None of the legs look abnormally thick in relation to the others though. Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jessi

They all look like girls to me. I had a pair of wyandottes whose combs were red at 4 or 5 weeks. I posted pics and was told they were roos. They both ended up as girls. I guess they can be a little hard to sex. Your may be a little early to start guessing just yet.
 
The first one is the only one that jumps out to me as a roo. It has a very pink comb to be so young. More telling signs should appear as they get older. Be sure to post some updated pics in a few weeks.
 
Wyandottes are notoriously difficult to determine gender on in the early stages. Unfortunately you'll have to wait on them. Pearl may be male, or an early maturing female. Wyandotte females are known to have pink combs early, hence the difficulty.
 
I was afraid of that. :) I am just really hoping we get to keep them all, so I hope no more than just one is a roo. Thanks guys. I'll try to hold off another couple of weeks before posting pics again.
