Golden laced Wyandotte rooster or hen?

[Jessicascott112]

Hi there,

This is my first time hatching golden laced wyandottes. I have two chickens That are 9 weeks old now. I’m not entirely sure on the gender and was just wondering what people’s opinions may be? I feel like the lighter one may be a pullet and the darker one a rooster but thought I’d get some opinions. The darker one is smaller and hard to get photos of sorry! No crowing yet from what I’ve heard.
First two photos are of the lighter chick. Second two photos are the smaller and darker one
thank you for any help

Both look like pullets to me.

I think pullets, too. My Wyandotte girls had even bigger, darker combs than yours.

pullets. The comb would be bright red and huge by now if a cockerel, and he would have large red wattles, which appear non-existent in these pics.

I'm gonna go with the crowd and say pullet.
Could you post more pictures of them in a few weeks though?

You got your self two lovely ladies! If you look at a rooster the don't really have much lacing on their back, and they have pointed saddle feathers

Not my pic but good example

The only problem is, at 9 weeks, these chickens are too young to have male or female specific saddle feathers. This indicator wouldn't work on these guys, if male.

So happy as they definitely seem to be girls as everyone has suggested
