Golden Laced Wyandotte Roo?

[MCoffee]

Hello! I am new to the Wyandotte’s. I pitched 4 chicks, I thought I was getting 2 silver and 2 golden. Turns out I got 3 silvers and 1 golden. The Golden Laced I am worried might be a roo. The first picture he/she is in the back. It has very beautiful coloring. Taller and a little slimmer than the silvers. The comb is quite larger than the others, and is a bit red. He/she is by far the sweetest and friendliest. They are 6 weeks in a few days.

Better pictures would be appreciated, but he does look like a cockerel

Can you try to get pictures in natural light? If they'll let you lol

One thing I can say about Wy cockerels is they are rowdy. Raised 3 clutches so far, had cockerels in 2. Those were the noisy ones...waking me up at 2 am because they were fighting and carrying on.

I will try to get some better pictures tonight! The girls (as far as I can tell they are lol) are super rowdy. But this guy just seems to be the sweetest, friendliest out of them all. Which makes me “hope” I don’t have a roo!
It’s tail feathers were a little late to come in compared to the other three.

Here are some better pictures. The silvers are also starting to get bigger, red combs. It’s lacing is very distinct throughout. Which I’ve been told that male Wyandotte’s only have lacing on their chest, but not throughout.

Gold laced is definitely a boy, the silver's look pullet.

 

[chrissynemetz]

I have to agree, I really believe the gold laced is a cockerel

 

[ColtHandorf]

Agreed; three Silver-laced pullets and one very male Golden-laced cockerel.
