Golden and Silver laced gender 7 weeks

[wyler]

First time raising chickens. They are now 7 weeks old. Incubated, so should be a pretty even split on gender. I am assuming the comb should be able to to tell me at this point the gender. Some are becoming a lot more prominent, and others are staying pretty flat. This is mostly now just for curiosity, as I plan on keeping the hens and butchering all but 1-2 roosters. I'll wait a couple of months.

Thanks.

In picture #1 I see 4 cockerels (two Silver laced and 2 Gold Laced). In the bottom picture I see two Silver laced cockerels.

I agree. The two GLWs look exactly like what my GLW rooster did when he was that age.

Yep, all the ones with the more predominant and redding combs are males. That is a lot of single combs in there for Wyandottes, I would send that picture to whomever sold you those eggs. They shouldn't be selling those birds are pureblooded Wyandottes.

Thank you for the quick responses. I probably should have labeled them. Are the ones I labeled in these pictures with R-x the ones that appear to be males?

Yup
