Cockerel or Pullet? SLW chick

[edenrice]

Hi everyone, I'm new to backyard chickens, and thought this would be a great place to ask for helpful information. I was just wondering if my 10 week old SLW pullet is actually a young rooster. I bought a few different breeds from mypetchicken.com understanding that there would be a chance of some roos in the bunch. I just wanted conformation, thank you!

Thank you!

I'd be guessing that was a cockrel.

I'd say that red at that age....cockerel.

Hi, welcome to BYC!

On the laced varieties, the boys get solid color blocks on their wings and the girls get nice lacing.

That is looking like a pullet to me.

Funny, with the mixed bag of reviews you got, any better of a clue than when you posted ?!

ETA: In my flock the redness comes and goes. Do you have any other Wyandottes to compare waddle size with?

LOL truths!

That redness coming and going can drive you nuts...I see it more older tho, nearer to POL.

@edenrice got any pics of all your SWL's at about 5-6 weeks?

Hmm.. My only other SLW has much more symmetrical laced patterns (no blocky white areas). And no @aart ): sorry bout that, no younger pictures! Here's a comparison to the other SLW if that gives you all any help deciding

(The chick NOT in question of being a cockerel is on the right, giving us a wonderful photobomb

If the chick in question is the bottom pic, that is a pullet.... that is nice lacing.

Notice the difference in this link? http://www.onehundreddollarsamonth.com/is-my-chicken-a-rooster/

Sorry for any confusion, but the last two pictures I added were both the chick not in question of being a rooster. I'm almost certain that one's a pullet - I just uploaded pictures of her for a comparison.
