Are these all roos

I thought at first that the silver-headed one was at Easter Egger - I have one very similar, but yours has yellow legs. What breed is she?

Good question! I thought silver laced Wyandotte. I purchased at tsc someone on here mentioned the comb is wrong for that breed. Im curious to see how the feathering looks as she grows. At least shes a she

Your chicken’s comb is way more developed than on mine.

Mine’s definitely a she! She started laying not quite 2 weeks ago.

The day she figured out what nest boxes are for:

I'm fairly sure one of the blues is a male.
For the other blue and the two blacks, they do not look obviously male to me. That could mean they are females, or it could mean they are males but developing more slowly.


I don't know on those. None are screaming "male" to me, but that doesn't prove anything about what they actually are.


Brahmas are notorious for developing slowly. It doesn't look male to me at this point, but I wouldn't trust that in this breed.

Wyandottes are supposed to have rose combs but your bird has a single comb. So that means it is not a good Wyandotte if you want to breed purebred Wyandottes or take it to a show, or if you personally want it to have the correct comb type. For any other purpose, the comb type is not a problem. That comb looks a little bit big to me, but not enough for me to be sure of anything. I'll call it "maybe male."

I would probably give all of them a bit longer before making any permanent decisions (killing or rehoming). I'm am more sure about the one blue being male than about the sex of any of the others.

Still

I love her! She looks like one of my older girls named Raven! Does she lay blue?

My supposed Wyandotte is a cockerel right?

Mine? She lays pale green with a tiny hint of blue. We were storing them with store brown eggs until we had a frittata fest last night:

I’ve lost track of your birds! If the Wyandotte is the black and white one, the saddle feathers sure look like a roo.

But I just have my little three to obsess over, I’m afraid. Unless I have photos of two hatch mates, same breed, to compare combs etc., I’m not the one to ask!

Definitely a cockerel and looks to be a hatchery-quality Silver Laced Wyandotte
