I have a 7 week old silver laced Wyandotte and a golden laced Wyandotte but only have each other to compare against. And they have me scratching my head.
I’ve been convinced since a week old that the silver one is a boy. Super slow to feather in, has only just started to get a tail. His comb and wattles went pink first of everyone and he has been chest pumping the others since day one.
The gold one however feathered in fast and never starts the little arguments. But now has a very large, pink comb and wattles. Neither of them like being held and are not overly friendly.
I just can’t make my mind up on these two :idunno

Thanks for replying. I’m quite gutted. I already have a lovely Frizzle rooster. He is a rescue and so well behaved so I think I’ll have to rehome these beautiful boys :hit
