Do I have a Roo?

[CovidChickas]

My chicks are about 5/6 weeks old. Do you think I have a brown Roo?

Too early to be sure, but your gold laced wyandotte MAY be a cockerel. Other two look female so far. Give it a little more time.

Too soon to tell.

The pink on the GLW is suspicious, but I had one SLW chick pink up early last year but by 12 weeks she was clearly a pullet.

Yes, too soon to tell. Post again in a couple weeks

Thank you. When should I send you another picture?

Wow! She’s the smallest of them all and has the least amount of feathers. Whats the deal with people posting pics of the wing? Should i do that tomorrow?

Wings don't really tell you anything except for certain chickens who are bred specifically to be feather-sexed when very young.

Here's a helpful graphic, but the male-specific feathers don't show up until about 12 weeks or sometimes even later:

All look like pullets so far!

Post new photos at 12 weeks if you are still unsure. The wyandottes are often slow to develop.
