Silver lace Wyandotte

[Mr Pilo]

Can you tell the gender?

My understanding is that it is very hard to determine at that age.

Leg size and stance will be your best indicator. If you purchased these as pullets from a local feed store then you're nearly guaranteed it's a pullet. Vent sexing at hatcheries is extremely accurate. If you ordered direct from a hatchery and they added "warmth" extras then you're certain it is a cockerel.

Got them from orschelns, I was sure they were pullets till a few people told me different, I guess wait and see

Why did those people tell you different? What exactly is the reason for doubt?

If you're relying on feather sexing then there is no doubt it's a pullet. I don't go by feathers unless strain of bird has proven to be sexed that way. The glimpse of dainty leg in first photo indicates pullet. Purchased as pullet from feed store indicates pullet. I'm not going too far out on a limb here to say I think it's a pullet.
