I have “4 Silver laced wyandottes” and I need help sexing one of them.

Definite rooster, Looks like he's mixed with RLBW. None of the pictures look like SLW, the hen is an EE for sure, yellow legs don't mean much as EEs aren't actually a breed so there's no standard. A SLW looks like the girl in my profile pic.

The cockerel in question looks like it could be the result of a silver laced Wyandotte with a blue laced red Wyandotte, I like his colors.

The pullet is pretty! With her laced feathers, slight beard/muff, yellow legs and green eggs she’s likely an Easter Egger x Wyandotte cross.

Here’s a similar looking rooster that is a slw x blrw just for comparison

Oh! It does look similar! Mine has more intense colors imo (hehe). Thanks for the picture though. At least I know what my birds may be.

Here's how you can tell (besides comb growth) At twelve weeks, pointed hackle feathers should be beginning to show in the butt area. At sixteen weeks, they're obvious.

As someone who frequents auction barns, I can tell you that this sort of thing happens a lot. (I like to play the part of poor, surprised, oblivious type who doesn't know how people could be so mistaken, and protest the mislabelling loudly. My father tells me that I'm going to get beaten up someday.)

Wow! Thanks for this! I’ll keep an eye out for my new chicks!
