Is my Silver Laced Wyandotte named Ursula really King Triton?

[LaurieJBC]

Uh oh. I'm afraid Ursula might not really be a hen. S/he is 4 months old. No eggs yet and no real crowing yet, but she sure is vocalizing a lot. This is my first SLW and I'm having a hard time knowing the gender. Could anyone give me reasons why and why not for the gender? Any feedback appreciated!

Welcome to BYC!!!
I think she's a pullet. She doesn't have the rooster feathering. IF I'm right and she's a pullet then she should be one of the first to start laying.

I agree with lightchick for the same reasons. She also does not have the large rooster-type comb or wattles.

 

[LaurieJBC]

Hooray! Thank you. We really love her and were hoping to keep her in our backyard. Here's to more eggs soon.

Pretty pullet. If you google for images of a slw cockerel or rooster, you'll see the difference in feather pattern.

Yup, you've got a young lady there.

She looks exactly like my 2 Silver laced, it's a she, one of them just laid her first egg this afternoon
