Golden Laced Wyandotte Hen or Roo? (5 weeks)

[Dinosaur Village Keeper]

I’m not sure if anyone can tell at only 5 weeks old, but hoping to get ideas please! She/He is the sweetest thing, always on my lap! She doesn’t have but about 1 inch of tail feathers.

I'd say pullet as the neck feathers look clearly laced. Definitely update in another 2 weeks.

I have 10 silver wyandottes that are 5 weeks right now and I can confidently say that it's a hen. One of mine also likes to be in my lap, I named her lappy.

Thank you! That’s wonderful news. I will update anyways for others coming along with the same question.

I just noticed I never updated this post from so long ago. She did indeed grow into a hen.

And a very pretty hen too.
