Gender of 6ish week old “Americana” and Gold Laced Wyandotte

This is a photo of a 7 week old wyandotte that turned into a beautiful hen (found photo on an old BYC thread)

Wyandotte cockerels grow very large wattles early on as well as a big comb. From what I’ve seen so far most pullets have small red wattles and slightly raised red combs. Cockerels have big black patches on the base of the neck and sometimes the base of the tail, their combs are usually raised pretty far from the head and their wattles are large.
:^) kind of repeating myself but that’s my more in depth reasoning on the way I sex wyandottes.

So I brought them in to take some photos and tried the top of the washing machine BUT the machine is running and they just wanted to peck the lightsView attachment 3539596View attachment 3539597View attachment 3539598
So I took them back outside and enlisted my three year old as a helper
Keep that in mind when considering how they are standing - my helper was acting very hyper and he was either spooking them or caught their attention lol

This is the EE

And what they thought of me removing them from the roost

I know what my guesses are but there isn’t any crowing from anyone in the coop (there are two sebright boys the same age and possibly a silkie)
Both are pullets
