Cockerel or Pullet Golden Laced Wyandotte?

I heard they pink up early . And these didn’t feather slowly or anything . I’m just curious !!

Sometimes the females can get bigger, colorful combs and wattles early in these two varieties. Not always, though.

I think GL-2 is definitely a female. I'd give a little more time for the other two. They are pinking up a bit, but I wouldn't worry about that. They just need to feather out more to gender them. I'd say 2 or 3 weeks more. Unless someone else pops in and can tell now.

It’s so weird . These are supposedly sexed pullets but I have a handful of suspect cockerels . Just my luck !

One in the 2nd picture might be a cockerel but other than that pullets.

Wyandottes are so weird.

If they were sold as sexed pullets then they most likely are just that. Wyandottes are tricky, as has been said. Keep an eye on them, and if you do get a cockerel, contact the hatchery or wherever they came from and try for a refund. Then put up an ad if you can't keep a rooster.

I’m going to keep one rooster for sure, but I’m thinking that might be my bcm cockerel. (Which I suspect because man does this boy have a big red comb and wattles ) I will definetly be contacting rural king if too many of these birds end up boys . I’ve had so much trouble rearing *^ up this flock already . Hate to find out that my survivors include a bunch of cockerels loll paid the pullet price for a bunch of sick chickens I’ll tell ya what

Update on my Maran cockerel and my suspected golden laced Wyandotte cockerel.

 

[JedJackson]

I think the Wyandotte is probably a pullet.

I’m hoping so, but this one compared to the one I gave to my mom has a lot more red on the wattles and has some oranger feathers on its shoulders . But crossing my fingers for a beautiful pullet not getting rid of her until she crows or grows saddle feathers
