Guess the sex of my Monsters Part 2

[CarriBrown]

I posted pics of Hotwing (dark BLRW) and Nugget (light BLRW) a few weeks ago. Here are pics from today.

...and then going out to graze

Hi! I would say they are both hens because they have no comb and tiny wattles. It would be awesome if one were a rooster so they could have chickies. They're cute though.

oh! also.... what does BLRW mean?

 

[CarriBrown]

Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. They are beautiful but little monsters!

That breed actually has a pea comb, so whether they are roos or hens, the comb will look like that.

How old are they?

 

[CarriBrown]

Hotwing is two months one week and Nugget is two months two days.

Beautiful birds

Nugget looks like a roo and hotwings a pullet. Look at the feathers on the neck, doesn't nuggets look more pointy to you? Also from the pics his comb/wattle look much pinker than hot wings. I could be wrong but that is what it looks like from the pics.

 

[CarriBrown]

No!!! I don't want anymore roos!

Sigh... Well... I guess I could talk the DH into making another coop....
The funny this is that Nugget acts so pullet-ish. And then Hotwing responds to Kip (the roo) cooing when he finds a treat.

I could be completly wrong, does he have saddle feathers? COuld you maybe get a full pick of him so that I can see the tail?

I read that as well about the feathers around the neck being a determining factor. Sorry, but they are both beautiful!
