Golden laced Wyandotte pullet or cockerel

[Cheeseburger Bandit]

I have 6 pullets about 6 weeks old now. It’s my first time raising chicks, and I’m getting a little nervous that one may be a cockerel. She’s pretty feisty and often times runs at the other chicks. They all do that from time to time, though so I wasn’t too worried about that. They’re all getting pretty big now and this one looks much different than the rest. I can’t have roosters so I’d have to get rid of him before he starts getting noisy. I’ve attached a few photos. She’s not in the one with the ladder, those are just the other ladies. Help!

I haven't raised many GLW but they both look like pullets to me.

They both look like pullets to me! These are ours! The bigger one is definitely a little feisty and I have caught her running to the other chickens and jumping on them. She is a bit of a bully, but I think that might just be their personality especially since she's a larger one of the group. The smaller one loves to cuddle and she's the one pictured alone

I have 6-week-old silver-laced Wyandottes (one pullet and one cockerel), and yours definitely do not look like our cockerel! He's VERY roostery looking already!

Okay. Thanks for the comparison! As she’s getting bigger I think I was just paranoid. I guess that’s just their personalities coming out! Yours have a nice laced pattern coming in already. I think mine maybe a Week younger so maybe 5 weeks. Either way, they’re growing like weeds. Can’t wait to see their pattern come in. The other 3 I have are midnight magic marans, which aren’t quite as pretty, but we’ll see. It’s hard to find photos of them online since they’re new-ish apparently.

Phew! Hopefully we’ll keep it that way
