I say pullet. Nothing screams roo to me.

I say girl. NO saddle feathers. By this age you would be able to see them clearly.

It looks a LOT like my GLW pullet did at that age. Wyandottes are known for early comb and wattle development, and then the others catch up. My GLWs are smaller than my SLWs and all looked rooish at some point in development.

I guess girl.

Just a secondary thanks for the clear responses on this thread. It really helps me with my GLW chicks as well.

It totally looks like a pullet to me. The comb is very small compared to what I have seen in my BLRW, SLW and BW and still seems to have some of that 'blackish' color that fades more slowly in the girls.

GL!

If it helps this is my 10 week old black laced Wyandotte cockerel (was hatched from a BLRW egg) with a lot more comb and wattles than your girl!

Oh, I seriously think that's a pullet. Please don't give her away (unless it's to ME). Pretty girl!!

that is definately a female.. i ordered two hens they arrived april 12th one is definately a he. he has a really red comb and long wattles. she has hardly anything

There's nothing male to that chick, I see girl all over. my neighbors 11 week RIR and my 11 week ameracana roos are pretty darn obvious with the RIR's having tall RED RED combs and the ameracanas having wide fuller combs that are darkening while the girls are only pinkish and still very close 'shaven' look. lol.

My brahmas at 11 weeks were pretty obvious too at that point who was male and female, SGTMOM52's BLW's comb and waddle growth is what my male brahmas look like at that age, very obvious.
