Pullet or cockerel?

[waltonwannabe]

Three weeks ago I purchased 40, day old chicks (several breeds and all pullets) from a poultry hatchery. My question is this... Is one of the Silver Laced Wyandottes a cockeral instead of a pullet? I think maybe so. She/he is bigger than the rest, has red comb and pinkish wattles (although very small) and is much more assertive than “all” the others. I will post a picture I took today at 3 weeks old.

With a comb and wattles like that at 3 weeks I can't imagine that one not being a cockerel.

He/she has been very pushy from just a few days old. When I approach the brooder for any reason he (I’m calling it a he because we all agree that he more than likely is) runs right up to the front even if he has to run over all the others. When I reach inside to get the waterer or pick one of them up, he’s got to be in on whatever is happening. While others may scatter and run, he says, “whatcha doin’ in here”. I don’t mind that he’s a roo. With as many chickens as I plan to have I’ll need more than one rooster.
Thanks to everyone for your input. I really appreciate and enjoy hearing from y’all.

How many do you plan to have?

That looks like a cockerel.

How many do you plan to have?

Somewhere around 30 or so.

Oh you could use three or four.

Do you want to breed or something?
