Hen or Roo?

[AnastasiaBeaverhousen]

I have a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte just over 2 months old that is supposed to be a hen but is looking a bit more like a roo too me. My others are Buff Orpingtons and look very different. First time chicken owner and still figuring this stuff out.

Comb and wattles are certainly developed for 8 weeks, I would say cockerel.

yes that is a cockerel (rooster)

Wyandottes are difficult because the girls sometimes pink-up early. I'm not sure if 8 weeks is far enough along for the wing patches to show or not.

In another month or 6 weeks the saddle feathers will tell the tale.

Compared to my wyandottes, I say that's a cockerel. The comb and wattles are much bigger than my 11 week old and I've noticed the cockerels have poor lacing compared to pullets. Mine have much more defined lacing.
