Golden laced Wyandotte Roo or pullet?

[troy007ramz]

I'm somewhat new to raising chickens and I noticed that this 11 weeks old golden laced Wyandotte looks much different than "her" siblings. The others have bushy bums and shorter bushier tail feathers. This one has a longer neck, red face, and long tail feathers with the tail feather on top being slightly longer. Could this be a cockerel, or just a special looking hen?

It's hard to tell from that picture, but she looks more like a dark Cornish than a GLW.

We bought her from a local feed store as a Golden Laced Wyandotte but who knows, she might be something else. I don't know enough to really tell.

I agree, here is a pic of one of my GLW at 13 weeks!

She FOR SURE is not a GLW. She may very well be a hatchery quality dark Cornish although she's a little finely built for that????

I'd say that's part of the typical range of hatchery cornish. possibly a hatchery's idea of aseel..? I'd really just settle for hatchery cornish.

Wow, yes she def doesn't look like that.

It's hard to get them to pose. But the one in the back has a bushier neck and shorter tail feathers. The one in the front is the one I posted pictures from earlier. Could one be a roo or are they just uniquely different?
