It will take another year to get it's best feathering colours, no sickle feathers. A Wyandotte cockerel would have them by now.

If it's not a recognised colour there then previous comments apply re. crossing, wrong egg went into incubator etc.

She'll be a very colourful hen in 2 years when her colours stabilise. Nice bird. Could use something like that in a hybridising colours programme.

I'm still taking bets, folks

I think 80% of you voted pullet and the rest cockerel...

It will be interesting to see how Scarlet grows and evolves this summer.

I am waiting to see too.....I vote pullet

 

[schellie69]

I vote pullet I think she would have a longer pointed tail if she was a he.....

I think the first egg should settle it......these people are literally giving their money away. Lol.

So if it's a pullet you'll call it "O'Hara" for short? (Dry)

it looks like its getting saddle feathers so i say cockerel

 

[key west chick]

Still saying pullet!

Well I just found this thread....7 pages later and reading through everything and looking over the pictures, I say its a cockerel. I have noticed that many wyandotte lines a super slow growers, which lengthens the amount of time it takes to be able to properly identify the gender. Good luck!

OP here... if it helps any I noticed today that Scarlet is as big as my two 14 week old cockerels (and "she" is only 11 weeks old) -

This does not bode well!
