Crowing pullet?

[Organic Gal]

I have a 12-13 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte that I got as a baby 4/1/21. Up until now I thought she was a pullet but today I saw her crowing. Is she a he? She is much larger than all the others raised at the same time and is currently larger than my Silver Laced Wyandotte which is a year old. Pictures attached

100% a cockerel.

I don't think pullets can get those blue feathers so male

I think it maybe the light that makes them look blue unless that is how you determine them to be blue.

Out of curiosity what is it that you are seeing to considering her a cockerel? besides her crowing and the huge size that she is she looks the same as the other wyandotte just different color.

That color pattern. Pullets are completely laced.

Gold laced wyandote pullets have lacing throughout, the cockerels (roosters do not)- they have patches of color and some lacing like your cockerel - pus, they crow.

This pic isn't mine it came from a search via the chick hatchery.

The size of that bird is the biggest clue . It also has pointy saddle feathers of a different color than the pullets and it crows. Some people would give it the benefit of doubt and wait it out

ok I see that is very helpful. Now that I think about it he doesn't have as much lacing as the other wyandotte which is a hen. Are wyandotte roosters nice? I'm having a dilemma on keeping him now. I don't want him to hurt the girls or be mean.
