Pullets or cockerels

[Missmackworth]

Hi All,
We have two golden laced Wyandotte’s who are just shy of 4 months old. I noticed they have two very different combs and it caused me to be concerned if one is a cockerel or both Pullets . They were suppose to be pre sexed but you know how that goes!

I have some silver laced wyandottes I'm curious about too but they aren't old enough like yours.

All are pullets. Rose combs have a recessive single comb gene meaning some will have a single comb

Pullets.

For the longest time i though my Wyandotte was a cockerel. But then she layed a egg.

Both pullets, just with different comb types

My silver laced wyandottes are getting a bit red/darker pink at week 4 it's already making me wonder is it common?

Do you have pictures?
This was mine at around 4 weeks

I'll have to grab them around feeding time they're out free ranging

I have wyandotte/game cross, the chicks are solid black, they have rose combs that are wide but black also, only a little red. They are 7 weeks old, having a hard time determining sex, is it still a little early? Would comb be wide and thick if it was a pullet?

We’d have to see pictures to tell for sure, but seven weeks is a good time to sex them. Wyandottes do tend to redden up early, so there are some false alarms.
