What age is it? Looks like a cockerel too me. Not an expert though.

I would say yes /I'm trying to sex three SLW's and he looks much more roostery then my little suspected rooster even, his comb is huge compared to all of mine at 5 weeks

Yep, it's a rooster. He's going to be a pretty boy too!

I think so. A profile picture would help . A pullet will have smaller waddles and no all white back feathers .Pullet feathers will all be laced except for tail feathers .

Thank you I was thinking he was a rooster he’s also the biggest and a bully with the others

Hope this pic helps he also doesn’t have developed feathers on his tail like the others. QUOTE="BYC910, post: 19826953, member: 343414"]I think so. A profile picture would help .

Thank you! Can they stay outside all night at this age? I put them outside during the day but when it gets dark they come to my sliding door and start crying huddled in the corner so I have been bringing them inside to sleep the temp drops to 35 at night still is that too cold for them??
