Do I have a Roo?

[HenFairyGodmother]

11 week old Wyandotte. Was meant to be a Splash Laced Red but it’s appearing more Blue and doesn’t have the typical lacing usually seen in pullets? I got this little one as a day old chick and have raised with a sexed female GLW the same age. They both have been growing at the exact same rate and have the same mannerisms and stance. They’re the same size and feet/ legs are the same, the only difference is ofc the colouring and this one has had a slightly larger comb since around 3 weeks old. Does anyone have experience with the breed colouring and can help identify what gender this beauty is please? TIA

Splotchy red coloring says male

That is definitely a cockerel.

thank you! I had suspected as such since he was just a few weeks old. Sad I won’t be able to keep him! I’m hoping my GLW isn’t a male also as they’re exactly the same size just different colouring and this ones comb is slightly larger… I’ll post pics of the GWL tomorrow for confirmation.
