I have a blue lace red wyandotte and all the chicks I got were supposed to guaranteed pullets. I noticed how thick the legs on the wyandotte are compared to the chickens and she is larger and bossy! Then I started reading on here and now Im worried I have a roo. Can anyone please put my mind at ease. Thanks
I have heard wyandottes can be bossy. Are they all the same age? What breed are the other chickens? Doesn't look like a roo... How old are they all?
it looks pullet. what has me concerned is the all red coloring on the top of the wing. it could be a roo. how old is it
I think its a girl. It should be just over 3 months if its 12-14 weeks and based on comb development and feather pattern i'd think it'd look more rooish by now if it were a boy.
I just got an email back from our Chicken Guy he will exchange for a pullet if she turns out to be a he and he will keep him not butcher him. lol I am not quite able to detach for meat birds, yet.
Update... I sent him the pics and the video and he says 100% pullet. I believe him, he seems to really take care of and know his flock. Very nice guy. I just like honest business people.
Looks like a pullet to me. Keep in mind in any flock, someone has to be the boss! And combs will get larger and redder as the hen reaches maturity. It's nice to hear your're doing business with a stand-up type person. One reads about so many shady chicken deals on this board they start to sound like the norm.
