Rooster or Not?

[Johnny17]

They are much too young to tell yet. The thicker comb on the first one is suspicious, but it's too young to know for sure. The single combed one has no signs of being male currently.

Yes but this is your opinion. I see some males here

Since some people think pullet, and some cock. I think it's still to young to tell.

I only hope that they don't grow up looking like my rooster "avatar"

The second chick has an incorrect single comb that sometimes happens. Post new pictures at 6-10 weeks.

What do you mean incorrect single comb? Like it’s a genetic abnormality, or it’s not a cockerel?

Wyandotte's are supposed to have rose combs, but some have single. That is called "Hatchery quality".

Hello!
I know it is REALLY early to sex for sure, but my new blue laced red wyandotte seems to have quite a pink comb for his/her age! I can't really compare it to my other blue laced wyandotte chick because the other one seems to have a whole different comb type! I would enjoy keeping a rooster, but my neighbors gave me a definite "NO!". I'll send a picture of both wyandottes. The first two images are of the "maybe" rooster. The next two are of the chick with the different comb!

Yes... really young (almost four weeks)

For what it matters my BLRW has a comb similar to your first pic, and has all the signs of a rooster at 5 weeks.

My wyandotte in the first picture has the rose comb (what they are supposed to have). I really hope atleast one of my little babies is a girl!

(Eeeeeew... I'm sitting outside with my chicks right now and one decided to come over ard try to poop on my foot! Luckily she missed!)

What signs did you see or were looking for? I am curious, maybe next time I will be able to sex my own chicks!

Okay... They are almost five weeks now! (when I told you their age the first time I was off!). Like I said, I will post again at 6 weeks, but I wanted to post them now to so I can see if there are any changes or anything! Thanks!

I also have some suspicious Americanas! I might add some photos of them too later!
