Purebred Wyandotte Gender

[Maddistee]

Hi all,

I have 6 purebred Wyandotte, we’re trying to figure out which are Pullets and which are Cockerels.

The going theory is photos 1,2,4 are Cockerals and the Other 3 are Pullets

Thanks everyone

All appear to be cockerels, sorry.

All look like cockerels, but i'm not sure about the one in the last pic. How old are they?

picture 1 is a definite cockerel

picture 2 is questionable.

picture 3 is questionable.

picture 4 is a definite cockerel

picture 5, the one on left is questionable. The other two are pullets.

picture 6, the one in center is a pullet.

The ones that I'm calling questionable need more time to tell.

I don’t think all are cockerels. The first two and fourth yes, but wyandottes pink of early. Also you cannot only go by red shoulder with laced red type Wyandotte’s because whether they are pullet or a cockerel they start to get the red in their lacing on their shoulders first. Many full grown hens only have the red lacing on their shoulder/back area with their shoulders being the darkest red. Example below:
