Blue Laced Red Wyndotte chicks growing progress

[MrChicken204]

Okay, here is a 5 week old update. I've really noticed a pronounced comb starting to develop on chicks 2 and 4. Although it's yellow/pink in color it's much different than that of the other two.. no evidence of wattles at this time. Any thoughts?? Should I be thinking I have two roo's?

Hello again MrChicken204

They are coming along nicely and growing so quickly!

Sorry any guesses on my part would be just that and I do not want to disappoint or get your hopes up so will leave it to the experts.

Here's a 6 week old update. I'm getting highly suspect of chick 2 and 4 in regards to the combs and wattles coming in, they are still a yellowish pink color but have grown fast over the last two weeks. Overall the chicks seem to be growing quickly and the lacing is starting to become more pronounced. Does the color look blue or more black??

Thanks Teila! This is what I'm thinking as well. I've heard the BLRW are especially hard to sex, but the last two pullets I bought sprouted combs and wattles really early like #2 and #4 and turned out to be roo's.

Here are some pictures from the move outside:

Week 7 here. Definitely seeing what I think are Roo traits in chicks 2 and 4. Also not completely convinced I even have any BLRW. The colors seem much more golden and black like a GLW..Any thoughts?

These are the BLRW I had once upon a time, I have Blues now. Yours look more "black" than blue (grey), waiting to hear from more experienced BYC members....

ChickNanny,

Those are beautiful birds! I don't seem to have nearly the type of lacing as your birds yet. I'm hoping as they get older that may improve some but I'm becoming disappointed in this group of chicks. They may turn out really pretty but I agree they are much more of a black bird than a true blue. I guess we will wait and see how they turn out... regardless they will lay eggs in the end(if I have pullets) and that's all that matters.
