GOld Lace Wyndotte.. Hen or roo??

[Mixed Pen]

Please help..
I got these 2 as say old, they are beautiful and sweet, i sent a photo to the breeder today and she said they are both roos, what do you think??

I'm thinking she's right, but age is a huge factor when sexing birds. How old are they?

 

[Mixed Pen]

They were born the last week of oct, like 27th?? so they are 8 weeks (ish)

I've now had 5 people tell me they are roe's on various websites, i am so devastated that one has to go (back to breeder for replacement with hen)

 

[screaminchicken]

Uh oh.. look like two roos to me!

 

[donrae]

Oh yeah, at 8 weeks those are both males.

good thing your seller will replace them, that's a lot more ethical than so many sellers we see on here that dump roosters on unsuspecting folks.

Both look like cockerels.

Both look like cockerels.

I agree.

I Agree, both are cockerels.
