Blue laced red Wyandotte hen or roo?

Oh goodie! I know some people post on here and have to give their Roos away. Glad you can keep your and hopefully some more hens coming soon! :)
I actually did the wing feather sexing thing when they were about 9 days old and according to that I had 1 hen and 3 Roos so I guess it was accurate this time.

If the first one is really crowing, I’d be leaning towards cockerel on it, too. The rest are definitely males. First is splash laced red, second is blue laced red, third is splash laced red, and fourth is black laced red.
 
The first bird posted is the only one that is possibly a female. Birds 2, 3, and 4 are undoubtedly male. The first one may just be developing a little slower with more boisterous male siblings. That happens sometimes.

I hate that sexing can tell you about males early but the rest of the birds are 'a pullet or a slow developing cockrell' and it takes longer to be sure. Especially since most people want hens.

No hate at you, just genetics in general, to clarify.
