Need help sexing Silver Laced Wyandotte Bantams!!!

Date sort Score sort
Well he's done it. He's FINALLY done it. He started crowing a week ago and now has the finest crow i've ever heard. Not an annoying one, but a nice one. I would actually LIKE to wake up to his crow.. pitty the neighbors wouldn't.. -_- Anyway, he used to only crow in the morning (we locked him up during the night and early morning) and unfortunatley he crowed after I got home from school this afternoon. I mean i'd LOVE it if he only crowed in the arvo and not in the morning, but I spose what a roosters gotta do, a roosters gotta do. I don't think there will be much escaping giving him away unfortunatley, especially since one of our neighbors works shift-work.. -_- My only hope is, is that he will only crow when I lock him up. I mean you can still hear it but it's not loud enough to wake somebody up. The other problem though, is Gretel. I'm worried that if I do eventually unfortunatley have to give my Hansel away is that she'll be really depressed and I love her like anything too and I do NOT want to end up having to give her away too.. :'( Anyway, i've got two 4 and 5 week old chicky bubs in the brooder and when it comes time to put em' outside in the coop for good, should I put them with Gretel alone so she won't get lonely?
Thanks so much for your help - REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!! :)
 
I hope you were able to keep your roo! I have a silver laced bantam wyandotte pair myself, and I love them to death! I just hatched out 6 of their babies, they are 8 weeks old now. So I don't have much experience with chicks, but I would say once your chicks are old enough to tolerate the cold (not sure how cold it still is where you are), they would be fine to put in with your hen. She will love the company! Let me know how things go, I hope things work out for you!
 
Hi, sorry to hijack. Can anyone help me? Last week I went to a chicken show and purchased 2 birds, both silver laced wyandottes. One adult cockerel and one younger hen.. Although nothing stated it was younger.. But it still cheeps and doesn't yet cluck... I'm worried it's a boy... But family/friends think it's a girl. They are bantams if it helps. Let me know what you all think. :)

She is a pullet. A cockeral would have whiter splotchier coloring like the one standing behind her.
