Please no roo :( (Silver Laced Wyandotte)

I suspect Raisin's a cockerel given the white shoulders, although his comb doesn't look too pink. A more recent body pic and closer shot of the comb could help.

It does appear that the first person does have a little roo judging by the redness of the comb at such an early age I would definitely see if they would give you a refund especially as they sold them to you as pullets, the second person looks to have 2 pullets, hardly any red and 3 months old.

"rooish coloring" ???????
Please explain - I didn't know SLY had coloring differences.

Yes, SL roos get more white on their shoulder when they are young, than the pullets do. It's easier to tell in non-hatchery birds. But if you see big "shields" of white on their shoulders, then they are likely boys.

Oh no, oh no, oh no.......

I have 2 slw - one has a pretty nice lace pattern and was the brooder bully (Citizen) and I suspected she was a he for a longtime. I posted several picts she finally got old enough that folks 'declared' her a 'she'. The other was smaller and meeker and had larger patches of white here and there (Raisin). Her comb and wattles look pretty much the same as her sister but she has recently gotten a noticably bigger and bolder. I thought she just had a lousey pattern....

These are a not real recent pictures (and not real good either) ... the 'girls' are about 11-12 weeks old.... PLEASE (

) tell me they're both girls

Already in the past few days they have begun to change. The white is going away some and coming in with black... I'm hoping they're both pullets!! :/
