Early guesses on the gender of Sheldon and NB

[Farmgirl1878]

NB (above) is the big baby of the bunch. S/he cries every evening until s/he finally hops up on the roost and then snuggles with whoever is closest. Kind of a clutz, s/he was the last to hop up anywhere higher than her head, but likes to try to fly (eventually). Small comb, big feet, rounded hackle feathers, and a perpetually nasty butt, s/he also stands up to the bullies.

Sheldon is curious, fearless, stands up to most of the other juvenile delinquents, is a great flier, and loves to find the highest perch. S/he has a small comb and big feet, but rounded hackle feathers. Any guesses?

They're Both Pullets

X2 - The pale combs are a giveaway.

I hope you guys are right that they’re both pullets! I’ve almost-for-sure got one SLW room and have ordered a male blue laced red Wyandotte from Meyer Hatchery for pick up in mid-July, so it’d be nice to have a bunch of ladies running around shaking their tail feathers and pooping breakfast!

Here’s my almost-for-sure roo (in the background):

Both of those larger Wyandottes are cockerels. Very nice looking birds.

Both pullets

The Wyandottes being laced makes sexing easy.

They are pullets. There is no where near the lighter color on any of them to say male.
