Really hoping this GLW is a pullet!

Having a roo wouldn't be awful, but it would sersiously be my luck to get one. I'm concerned because I also have a SLW that's the same age that has a gray/pink comb area, and NO wattles forming. Chick in question is around 5 weeks old. Thank you!



Color is off in this one, but it gives a better side view of the body.

I am not great with sexing Wyandottes, but hang in there..

I know quite a few people (including myself) who have had Wyandottes pink up early.

Can you post a front view of the comb? That would help a lot.

I think you have a girl. One of my SLW pullets developed early heres a pic at about 5 weeks for comparison

I'd say you have a cockerel, but Wyandottes can be tricky. Don't give up hope yet!

Here are 2 more pics. If you need more/another angle, let me know!


And compared to my SLW pullet of the same age

Looks like a cockeral to me. But it's still early yet!

Alright, so here is a 6wk picture, though a little washed out......it's more red through the comb and wattles irl. And fwiw, this chick's body language is always the 'hey! what are you doing?' [cautiously picks its way nearer, head-bob, cranes its neck, a few more cautious steps, and then retreats] I don't know if that just means it's the alpha pullet so to speak, or if that's early cockeral body language.

I think you have a roo.

Some roos aren't too terribly bad!
