Pullets or Cockerels Golden Laced Wyandottes

[Mary Ball]

None are sporting any red in their wattles.. and even though saddles LOOK pointy on one, at this age it's gotta be pattern... ALL look like pullets.. even the straight combed one... barring late bloomers.

BTW, Some hatchery breeders of rose comb breed may keep a straight comb in their flock... as breeding all straight combs will eventually lower sperm motility, generations down the road.

Sometimes lacing can be a good indicator... but really not in this instance as lacing is less than desirable on all of these subjects. Please, no rudeness intended in this comment as it is meant objectively and does not mean I think they aren't beautiful.. they still are.


Yep!

Thank you! Ha ha no it's totally fine, they'll still plop eggs I actually paid for 18 Australorps and wound up with these guys/gals.

6 week old GLW - two are female and 2 are male. They are close to 1 year old now, so we know that there was 2 of each. Notice all have some color, but the males will have some wattle development with color before the females.

This gives me some hope for mine... the comb isn’t that aggressive but the wattles are more pronounced than your pullets

Sorry I wound up with duplicates and I don't know why it says hatching First post

Lol... Welcome to BYC...

Hatching mean you are new to the community... it's more or less a status statement about how many posts you've made. It changes through time.. I've seen hatching, crossing the road, addicted, crowing, free ranging, and chirping... there may be more.

You've got this!
