Can you please help me determine wheather these are hens or roosters?

So folks - the majority of you reckon that I have a load of roosters??

- just my luck!!

I bought the 'wyandotte' eggs believing they where 'rare blue laced wyandottes'?? They were quite deer aswell - £1 per egg!!! Why or what makes you say they are not blue laced wyandottes?? If possible, have any of you a photo of what one should look like?

thanks,

Blue Laced Wyandotte.


As for the Buff - Look at the back. You might notice there are some small, very triangular shaped feathers there, and in person, you'll notice they're slightly shiny. Also notice the shoulders - They're deeper in color than the rest of the body. They'll continue to grow in that way and the shoulders of the wings will eventually be a good red color, and quite shiny.

at 12 weeks, those all look like roos to me.

But I think the buff is just a slower maturing bird, check out those legs! Sorry, I think all roos, and IDK what the first guy is, but it's not wyandotte.

all do look like roos but maybe you will get lucky with 2 being a hen

The pattern is not Blue Laced (Illia's photo communicates that quite well) and, in addition, Wyandottes have rose combs, large round heads, and are just really round birds altogether.

Folks - its turns out that they are ALLL roosters!!

Well then, you ought to hatch some more eggs because with 100% cockerel this time, you're due for some pullets to bring you back to 50%, right...

But don't buy from that seller again. Either they are clueless, careless, or downright dishonest.

The 1st one looks like a roo to me.
