This site shows the barred Wyandottes. Remember also that different countries have developed different breeds and strains.

The barred chicks can mostly be distinguished while young, with the pullets being dark and the roos being lighter in overall appearance. The upright stance, the coloring all scream Roo!!!

For 10 weeks, compared to my BLRW, wattles and comb look larger, boy?

That is a male, I made barred wyandotte bantams and the barring in the males is great just like yours plus the comb/wattles are red

No, not at all. And from the Wyandotte thread (sjarvis00's post), the leg color is also correct for a Dominique. Type is very different between the breeds, so you'll know for sure when she (I still think its a girl) matures.

the breeders adamant its a wyandotte,just seen some pics someone posted for me on another site and zeebs looks like there male,im soooooooooooo hoping for a girl,either way shes not off back to the breeder,if its a boy ill find him a home,someone said on here theyd take him but they live in the us im from the uk,

I agree. I think its a Dominique, but you'll need to let her fill out more to be sure.

I have a dominique hen with spurs, but this dude looks to me like a spur-less cockerel
