Columbian Wyandotte--should be a pullet but looks different than the rest

[hollytruitt]

7 weeks old-This one acts more like a rooster in its behavior and looks very different than the hens of same breed. Its a sweetheart and very beaten (bullies have been rehomed to a better place --free range farm).
This one will eat last....let the flock eat before it does. Also protects the one that is also beaten up. This was is very sweet.

There was another poster recently with a bird with with same pattern, but was a mystery chick with some SLW. Couldn't figure it out.

Its supposed to be a Columbian Wyandotte but I thnk its SLW instead or a rooster.

Yeah this looks like the same darn chick as that other one, but I can't find the thread.

I don't believe it looks different because it is a rooster. These aren't a sex linked breed. Eventually that will be the case, but it is too early now for that.

Plus, in general it looks like a pullet.

I'm going to find that other thread.

It doesn't look like a cockerel at 7 weeks. But the feather pattern look like a silver lace Wyandotte.

We got this from McMurray Hatchery. If that helps.
