Is this SLW a boy or a girl?

[tazzy]

It just occurred to me that one of my Silver-Laced Wyandottes might be a he, not a she!

Look at the two SLW's in this photo. Are they both female, or is the one on the right a boy? They are both about 15-16 weeks old.

Thanks!

I have a pullet that is now 18 weeks old and does not have the waddles yours has. I am going to say that you have one of each.

I'd say that the one on the right is a boy. The waddles say it all.

I agree. It seems the wattles are the best first sign for SLWs. Also look for some irridescence in the black feathers.

okay, thanks! I will hold off on selling that one until I know for sure. He/she should start crowing any time now!
