Golden Wyandottes

I am new to the keeping of chickens. My parents had chickens growing up but I wasn't really involved. So now I am trying my hand at raising chickens. I have 5 chicks they are now between 6 and 8 weeks two are older than the other three. I have a question as to one of the chicks they told me was a hen I am questioning that call she has a upright comb and the others don't??

Hi and welcome to BYC. Maybe post pics for gender ID here after they are 8 weeks or so - Breed / Gender I.D. Here are some helpful links:

• Great go-to resource - Articles
• Space requirements
• “How to...” guides
• Raising Baby Chicks
• Find other BYC members nearby using the links in my signature, below (turn your phone to landscape to see them).

Best wishes

The upright comb is ok. Some breeds have upright combs and others don't, so it's ok.

Some have combs like that

Welcome to the insanity.

Post clear pictures of each bird and we can help sex them. At that age the cockerels should be showing pretty good for most breeds.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Although not acceptable to breed standard single combs sometimes appear in Wyandottes.
