Anyone want to take a guess?

I have two SLW's and they are starting to look pretty different. They were both supposed to be pullets, but I am starting to think otherwise. They are only 3 weeks old, so I know it is tough. Here is a head shot of the chick in question:

and here is another photo that could show the beginnings of wattles:

Here is a photo of his "sister" for comparison purposes:

Finally, here is a picture of their backsides, he is on the right. His tail feathers stick up more than hers

It looks to me like you have a male and female

Ooooh, yah. He looks like roo to me w/those pointy feathers.

One has a straight comb and one has a rose comb. With the wattles showing, I say the first one is a roo, but it's still really early.

SLW are notorious for their early wattle and comb development. You can't be sure until later on. You can feather sex them when they are born. They both still look like pullets to me. One does have a shorter tail.

Ooooh, yah. He looks like roo to me w/those pointy feathers.

Sorry, they don't have pointy hackle and saddle feathers till much, much later.​
