not the greatest picture, but this is Storm my silver laced Wyandotte hen ...at least she was suppose to be a hen. Now I'm questioning her gender since she looks extremely different than her sisters. she almost 3 months old. none of her sisters have combs/wattles yet but she/he does. just not sure if theres different strands of SLW, or if this is really going to be a rooster :)
 
He's male. The comb and wattles tell the story. The different coloring with the white patches on the shoulders confirm.
 
Thank you ladies for your help. He will be the first man in the coop, with a bunch of ladies to deal with :) I don't like to pick favorites but since day 1 he had a different look then the others. hes such a sweet boy. glad to have others confim my thoughts :)
 
Rooster for sure. Wyandottes are often hard to sex, but a comb and wattles like your bird has, along with the white wing patches, are signs of a cockerel.
 
thanks for your guys help .... @ladycat @donrae @Wyandottes7 @BantamLover21 you were right ! well .... Storm was suppose to be a girl but he's deff a boy! hes 3 months now. and the first rooster in my flock. hes so sweet ........I JUST KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ROOSTERS :) ?!????!!!!
 
Well, I'm glad he turned out to be a sweet rooster. He's a very pretty boy.
