Roo or pullet?--New pics in post #20!

[JustClucky]

He/she/it really is gorgeous! I'm so anxious to figure out what it is and I have another GLW who looks totally different. That one has wattles already but aren't pink, feathers are different... Chickens should hatch with a G or B tag on them. lol

I'm sorry the first picture isn't working, btw. I don't know what's up with Photobucket but apparently, it's not working. lol

I thought it looked more pullet like, but admit I am bad at that game. I have a wyandotte that I got on 3/11 that already has red showing on pretty developed comb/wattles.He(I think its a he) is about the size of yours.

Don't give up hope yet, SLW's and GLW's are sometimes hard to figure out, because they do mature a little faster than other breeds, we have 2 SLW's and both had pick combs at about 1-2 weeks but never got any more red since, and they are both Girls, so wait a little longer and you should be able to tell by 7 or 8 weeks.

I've lost track of how old they are, btw. Can anyone take a guess based on feathering? I'm thinking they're about 3 weeks.

They look like ours at about 4 weeks so your probably about right 3.5 -4 weeks.

Awesome! Thanks!!!

And just to be totally honest, I keep crowing at them just to see if they'll attempt to answer me back. HAHAHA My husband thinks I'm insane, I'm sure!

Since their feathers are bigger now, I can see that their hackles feathers are different. One's are REALLY pointy and the other's is rounded at the tips. Pointy usually means roo, right?

OK, so I know I posted a ton of pictures. In the first place, I love them like crazy and just wanted to show them off and #2, I would love it if someone else's trained eye can spot something that I just can't. Thanks for your opinions, everyone!!!
