Glw Hen or rooster?

[yjholme]

Hi, I bought this chicken as a pullet a couple months ago but am now thinking might be a rooster. What do you think?

I really doesn't look very lady like to me. How old is it? "A couple months" can vary a lot!

She/he should be about 15 weeks right now. The blrw in the pic with her/him were within two weeks if the same age and were much closer to the same size when I bought them.

I also noticed some green in the tail feathers and on some of the wing feathers when the sunlight shines on them. Not sure if that helps.

I am pretty sure I see saddle and hackle feathers growing in the one picture. Wyandottes always look boyish to me, but would vote that one actually is.

I'm thinking too do my blrw at least look like girls?

I see two splash laced reds in the one picture? If they are 13-14 weeks I would say girls on them so far.

Thanks!

Your GLW is a rooster, hens usually have a more complete pattern and the Splash laced reds are pullets.

Your Golden-Laced is 100% cockerel, in my opinion. I see pointy feathers coming in, he looks "gangly" (like most roosters), has a large red comb and wattles, and overall, just looks masculine. Your BLRW (well, actually, the look like Splash-Laced Red Wyandottes) look like pullets.
