Hi all! Thank you for taking the time to read my forum post. I’m completely new to chickens, and am hoping for a little guidance. I ordered all pullers, but I am wondering if one of my girls may be a rooster. She is a black laced Wyandotte. I’ll post her and then a picture of her sisters as reference.

I'd give them time. My GLW and SLW reddened up pretty early, and I guess that's normal for wyandottes. That being said, her comb and wattles are larger in size than what my girls have... I'm still going to lean towards pullet at the moment. When your chicks are around 12ish weeks you will definitely find a difference among pullets and cockerels.
 
Thank you! I sure hope she’s a pullet. I was worried too because her feet are bigger and her tail looks a little different. But maybe she’s just developing differently.
