Are these roos or pullets? 6 weeks old.

I have four Laced Wyandottes is it to early to tell if they are male or female? They are a few days from being 6 weeks old.

ALL ROOS.................

Oh I hope not,

All my chickens are roos

anyone else?

Too early for me to tell.

Nice pics, though.

What age can you tell or do I have to wait for them to crow?

No more roos no more no more roos

the roos are taking over!

Somewhere about 10-12 weeks, they should start to show their gender.

I will wait!

What should I look for?

Besides crowing?

My SLW's are 16 weeks and I am still lost. I have 4 of them whos combs & wattles are very red, and have been for a while, but they all have the typical pullet body.

You'd really have to get some closer pictures to get an idea. My thoughts were that perhaps the one on the left is a pullet and the far right is a rooster, but I don't know.

eta: teacher & I were posting at the same time and I agree.. 3 roos and one pullet.

I am no expert but it looks like 3 roos and 1 pullet (far left) to me.

The cockerels will grow a bit taller, a bit more erect. The pullets will get lower and rounder, as that's how it is with Wy's. Its what I love most about the breed; the females get so round and plump looking!
Since they are rose combs, it is a bit harder to gauge by the comb without experience. The wattles, though, generally become more pronounced in males.
And by 12 weeks, don't be surprised to get some crowing...
