The hackles are the feathers around the neck correct? I think they all have pointy hackle feathers though.

Golden laced roos look like this:

See the pointy neck feathers and the sharply down turned saddle feathers? And not to mention the totally different coloring!

I'm nowhere near an expert but...

I got my GLW's from My Pet Chicken also. I ordered 3 hens and a rooster so it was a lot easier to see who was who. Your GLW looks like my hens. My roo was colored differently from the beginning and by about the 5th week it was pretty easy to see that he was indeed a roo - his wattles where the same size as your hen's at 13 weeks.

Have fun with them!
 
Fugie~ beautiful roo (if it is yours) I was thinking that. If my wyandottes were roos wouldn't they have different coloration by now.
