Help with sexing SL Wyandotte chicks

[dkcrumly]

I have two 4 week old bantam SL Wyandotte chicks that I'd like some help sexing.

Chick #1 (Roo?)

Chick #2 (pullet?)

both together

thank you!

I think you're right. Cockerel and pullet.

(What is the hen's breed? She's beautiful!)

I think you're right - can you see any wattles on the first chick yet?

Beautiful birds.

No, I don't see any wattles on the first one. At what age would the wattles show if it's a roo?

The first one has been larger from the day they hatched, so I'm not really going by the size at all. I know it's comb is starting to redden up but it's behavior makes me question whether or not it's a roo.....it's way more skittish than the smaller one.


thanks for your help....still crossing fingers that they are both pullets
