Need help identifying this breed

Still a cockerel.

Hey guys just quickly I’m looking at buying this Wyandotte do you think she is pure breed and if so what sort would she be?

I agree with the others, wyandotte mix.

ok thanks.... now I know not the pay the $70 the seller is asking for.... they tried telling me she is blue laced red Wyandotte pure breed...lol....

The lacing isn't even blue! The shyster! To me that looks like another Barnevelder cross.

I’ve seen wyandotte cockerels with lacing on their backs and wings. It stays there until they grow in all their male-specific feathering.

Interesting. I haven't, but that doesn't mean it's not a thing, haha. They always just have splotchy patches till it patterns out in my experience, with some barring on the wings.

Here’s a thread that may be interesting.

Oh hey yeah pullet lines. I remember talking about that when I brought up hen feathered Wyandottes--such cockerels are specifically bred to produce higher quality pullets in the Wyandotte breed...just to make this kind of stuff more confusing, lol.

@TheAlrightyGina @Overo Mare @EmmaRainboe @RoostersAreAwesome question about Audrey after looking at her photos again and watching her forage around the yard if she was cockerel would she not have more of a flowing tail by now? Instead of the fluff ball she has?

Due to her malnutrition growing up I think it would delay growth.

No, cockerels tend to feather slower in breeds that have had nutritional or picking issues. The tail and the very pointed, metallic gold above the tail is spot on for a cockerel.
