blue laced red wyandotte - 8 wks - roo or pullet?

[MarcyG]

Hi Everyone,
We recently purchased an 8-wk old Blue-Laced Red Wyandotte (bird on the right - in the first photo attached). We are not sure of its gender (were told it was a pullet by the Seller)... but the 'stance' and its more aggressive/dominant personality is leading us to think this is a male (roo) and not a pullet.
Is it too soon to tell? There is a comb and wattles... but they're not too dark or large at this point. Crossing our fingers, praying!!
ANY input or feedback would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!!!!

I think you might be right about it being a cockerel. Might want to wait a few weeks before you can tell for sure.

I would wait and see, I have and had 2 GLW 1 had a pea comb the other one had a rose comb they definitely grow different. Both were pullets. The rose comb Wyandotte died from unknown causes.

Ohh, so sorry to hear about that Tonyroo.
I'm hoping and praying that ours does turn out to be a pullet.
