Gender of my approx 23 week silver lace wyandotte?? I think?

[moni07]

She seems to be engaging in fight with what we think is a australorp rooster.. is that normal? I mean like REALLY fighting.

my silkie hens fight more than the roos do

something says roo to me on that bird but just not sure

At 23 weeks if it is a rooster it should be crowing. If it hasn't by now its a hen but it does look like it could possibly be a young roo
:/

It's hard to tell with white birds but I think I see saddle feathers. You can tell for sure by laying those feathers onto a dark sheet of paper and looking at the shape - pointy = roo, rounded = hen.

That is most definitely NOT a Delaware. It's a Light Sussex, pullet I think, but the saddle area is confusing me. Are you sure of the age?

 

[jobeth3]

light sussex pullet!!

As deceiving as it may seem, that bird is 100% rooster! And a light sussex. See those shiny feathers around the tail, and pointed hackle feathers. It is odd that he is such a late bloomer, though. He's going to be a handsome young man
