Hi there! Any ideas on the gender of this gold laced wyandotte? His/her brother (same age) has a much bigger and redder comb/wattle, pointy/upright tail and different feathering. Plus, the brother acts much more aggressive/rooster like. However, he/she still looks a little like a boy?? Any help is appreciated!

I've attached a photo of the brother a couple of weeks ago. Is bigger with a much bigger comb/wattle now and even pointer/longer tail. They are both 11 weeks old at the moment.

At 11 weeks their combs and wattles are very developed and red; pullets don't get red like that until they are about to lay eggs. I have several wyanotte pullets the same age and their combs/wattles are pink and much smaller. The rose comb can make it a bit trickier to tell than on a straight comb.

Yes definitely the rose comb is a confusing one! I normally have Orpingtons and they are very easy to tell apart.
