Sexing wyandottes

[Murdy]

I have a pretty good idea on 2of 3 of these 9 week old wyandottes... But I'm looking for confirmation before making plans as I can't keep any roos.

For labeling, let's call them light, medium and dark.

Even without good lighting, I can see two obvious cockerels.

Pictures in natural light would help immensely though. Hard to tell comb and wattle redness under a red/pink light.

So... The one that I have in natural lighting with a close up of comb/waddle (light one).... Thoughts?

Which are the obvious? Medium and dark? That's my theory... And I'll be crushed if the light one is a roo. "She" jumps into my arms to hang out.

That's "her".

My Wyandotte pullets are a week or two older than yours. They have basically no combs.

All three appear to be cockerels.

Not enough difference in comb and waddle? Seems pretty significant to me. (top 2 vs bottom 2)

The splash isn't as developed as the other two, but I do believe it's a cockerel. The other two are for sure. Maybe post updated pics of that one in a couple more weeks.
