Pretty sure I have a barnevelder and at first I was thinking boy but I’m starting to feel like it’s a pullet… thanks in advance for your knowledge. 4 weeks old this week

That’s a pullet, also it could be a barnevelder, however I think it’s a golden laced wyandotte.

I would agree but Wyandotte have pea combs right?

Pretty much all the time, but there’s some here in there that get the straight comb gene. It’s probably a barnevelder now that you mention it I wasn’t paying close attention to the comb in the pic.

Oh wow I never thought about the odds of that not always being the case! Thank you for that cool little insight! Always trying to learn more

Wyandottes have rose combs, not pea combs. Hatchery quality do sometimes have single combs.

This isn't a Wyandotte though. Where did you get her?

I would say she's a Barnie, then.

Looks like a Barnevelder just more gold than usual at this age.

how exciting! I was kind of sad when I went to identifying them (trying my best) and I figured it was a good chance it was a Barnevelder and it started feathering out like a boy as far as growth wise. I really wanted a female of this breed!!!
I know some breeds like the Orpingtons don’t feather out the same as others and you can’t rely on that to tell the sex… I’m so happy it’s a she!!!!
