Hens or Roos? 4week old Wyandottes

[trippinmoose]

Need help sexing them. Just noticed their combs are different. One spikey one flat and now I’m nervous one may be a Roo. They were sexed but didn’t confirm breed. I think they are silver laced wyandottes but not sure.

They both look like pullets.

But, I'm pretty sure those aren't SLW.

Any guesses on breed?

Cute! Looks like pullets. Could they maybe blue australorps??

They definitely could be. I thought maybe black Australorps when they were 1 week but they looked more like Wyandottes then. They weren’t in a labeled brooder so it’s a toss up!

Hmm yeah maybe do some research, they look a lot like my black australorps did at that age only more grey/blue

So far they're looking like girls.

They're definitely not Silver Laced Wyandottes though. I think they're Sapphire Gems.
Even though the first one has a rose comb, they could still be SGs. Sapphire Gems aren't an official breed, so they don't really have a breed standard. So little things like a wrong comb could pop up here and there, I believe. But they are a cross of Blue Rocks and Barred Rocks and those two have single combs, so I'm not sure.
I found this article that has a picture of a SG with a rose comb, the pic is at the start of the egg laying section. The article also goes into some detail about the breed.

You could check to see what breeds TSC has ordered this year. That would narrow down the breed a bit.
