Hi there, I was given 4 SLW as 8 week olds. There was no guarantee and I can't have roosters. So of course one is crowing. I have my suspicions but haven't actually seen which one it is. I will post a few pics, they are now around 13 weeks old and still a bit skittish (So hard to get good pics), we are trying to spend as much time as we can holding and hand feeding. Thanks for any help Amy

The two with the very red and thick combs and wattles are roos. The barred one (really dark one), and the one with a lot of white in the first pic, and the one she is holding are your pullets. :(
 
Looks like only 1 of those is for sure a pullet. One of them is iffy, leaving you with 2 for sure males. :( I also don’t think they are pure SLW.
Thanks for your reply, I don't mind what breed they actually are, I wanted young as my daughter wants to love them but isn't a fan of fully grown haha, and they were free so wasn't complaining , but can I ask which one you think is the definite and which one is the iffy?
 
Last picture the 2 in the middle are cockerels.
They also appear to be mixed breeds as some have barring in them.
In the last picture the bird all the way to the right looks to be your only Wyandotte and the one all the way to the left is a Cuckoo Marans.
Thanks for your reply. They were the 2 I was 90% sure were my boys. I wish I lived out of town so I could keep even 1 of them. As I said in my reply before they were given to me so I didn't really mind what the breed was, I was going off what I'd been told. Thanks again

They are the 2 I was concerned about. I have a new home for 1, and hoping to sort out the other. I just don't know which one is actually waking me up of a morning haha. I'm really glad the one she is holding is a girly, don't tell the others but she's been our favourite from the start :) thanks for your relpy
