Is this a male or female? UPDATED

[tazzy]

So...opinions? Here are better pics of my Silver-Laced Wyandotte. Do you think it's male or female? It is right at 15-16 weeks old. Thanks!

UPDATED on 8-8 - It's a girl!!! Laying eggs and everything!

Beautiful, but if I HAD to guess, I'd say roo... I've been wrong before.

What age?

My first inclination is girl. At 7 weeks my Sl have way more waddle and comb than that......plus the legs are awful thin.....

but then again, some pointy feathers on the neck there??????

I bet I was totally unhelpful, huh?

I'm guessing roo, but what do I know? Mine aren't that old yet...

I say hen, First thought was pullet. Then cockerel.. But the coloring is a hen, along with a few other reasons.

I would guess hen too based on color. Males are not as defined with loops on the back and should have much longer hackles.

Thanks, everyone.

It is right about 15-16 weeks old. Closer to 16 weeks old.

For comparison, here is a pic of another that is the same age. The wattle is much less pronounced:

any more thoughts on this with the new pic added? I have someone who wants to buy both of these chickens, but I want to be able to tell him for sure if they're male or female. thanks!
