Blue laced red wyandotte and orpington Mix

[GemW]

I have 2 BLRW. I'm pretty sure just by size and stature one is a roo, but do they have distinctive feather patterns between roos and hens like a darker chest (had that experience with a wrlsummer)?

I also have a black and buff orpington mix chick. It's chest is buff for sure and there's some on the wings. Wondering if anyone knows of a distinctive roo pattern for black x buff like with Easter eggers?

Can you post some pictures of them?

Here's my black buff mix

The wyandotte I'm pretty sure is a girl

And then the one I think is a boy (less white on his chest) and the 2 of them together.

I'm pretty confident I have 1 each of the wyandottes, the mix I have no clue. I just wasn't sure if there were any tell tale marks.

If both are the same age your smaller one is failure to thrive

Really? All 3 are the same age the 2 smaller are the same size. The one I'm suspecting is a roo is bigger than both.

I'd say they're to young to sex right now and say anything for certain. Repost some pictures when they are around 8 weeks old.

I agree, looks like a FTT. You have 2 that size?

I know they are. I was really just curious about the breed in general. Do the cockerels have a give away like darker chests or the coloring of the wings
