Gender??? Silver laced wyandottes

[kimmy rae]

Hi there, I'm new to poultry and wondering if anyone has an idea of the sex of my 8 week old silver laced wyandottes. I have a suspicion they are both roosters.

Welcome to BYC -- judging by this photo I'd say your suspicions have a very good basis.

Thanks for your opinion, any tips for how you can tell in SLW.

Both of these birds appear to be showing the characteristic heavy/solid white coming in on the wings that is associated with cockerels vs. pullets.
Additionally, both birds are showing significant reddening of the face/comb/wattle for 8 weeks of age - another indication of cockerel vs. pullet.

They both look like cockerels to me.

I would say cockerels, but for more advice and to get more opinions on the gender, why not post a few pics on the big fat is it a rooster thread?

They both look like males to me, too.

They're both roosters.
