Need pics of your Wyandottes @ 5 weeks old

RobbingPeter, so your first pic is a roo? Any thoughts on my pic, page 1?

It's really hard to tell from the comb alone whether or not it's a roo or a pullet. I've got a pullet that had a very rosey comb early on.

I am pretty sure he is a roo - he has started sporting little red wattles since that pic was taken and his comb just keeps getting red-er. Also, his behavior screams Rooster he struts around and picks on the baby Cochins that are twice his size.

This is my very first batch of chicks so everything I am doing is just guessing. I couldn't begin to guess on yours - it would be the blind leading the blind.

You should try a posting in the Breed/Gender guessing threads - they can tell by looking at hackles and saddles and stuff (wherever those are - my chicks didn't come with saddles

)

Wish I could help, but I'm new to Wyondottes. Just got 6 of these last Friday:

They still look pretty much the same almost a week later, except they have grown some tiny little wing feathers.

My beautiful blue Wyandottes! Top photo: Crystal (3 weeks old). Middle photo: Lucyfer (3 weeks old). Bottom photo: Lucyfer (on left) and Crystal (on right) both aged 3 weeks.


And here they both are at 5 1/2 (closer to 6) weeks of age! Top photo: Crystal (left) and Lucyfer (right). Middle photo: Crystal (left) and Lucyfer (right). Bottom photo: Crystal (left) and Lucyfer (right). They are, as I said, nearly 6 weeks old now. It was in question that Lucyfer is a pullet or roo. What do you all think?
