Been a while since I’ve had SLW chicks, but imo - cockerel.

Thank you, Really hoping not. This is my smallest chick. One of the four is for sure a rooster. Even as a newbie I know, lol. Pic of “chick in questions” brother!

Wait a couple of weeks and post updated pics.
I have had a few smaller chicks I believed to be pullets, but were cockerels.
One in particular my daughter named Sweetie.
He was smaller, but wasn’t so sweet when male hormones kicked in.

We have 4 silver lace Wyandotte chicks, 4 weeks old. This is the smallest out of the bunch but I’m still suspicious could be a late bloom Roo. Any opinions?

I'd wait a few more days or a week and take fresh shots of their face and side, then post them here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/what-breed-or-gender-is-this.15/

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. I agree may be but give it time to grow a bit.

I always say that your instincts are probably accurate. I hope the 2nd is a pullet.
