Silver Laced Wyandotte Cockerel or Pullet

[Rebekahc]

I allegedly bought 6 silver laced Wyandotte pullets…I believe they are 4-5 weeks old. I know that’s technically too early to tell, but is this one giving major signs he might be a cockerel? His tail feathers are developing slower than the others, but he’s the only one with a raised comb at this point. His wing coloration also looks more consistent with a male? I have a home for him if he is in fact a cockerel, but I’m just curious! Or am I being impatient and need to give them a few more weeks? Ha!

It has a single comb, so that may be why it looks different. I think it is too early to tell.

I think it’s a cockerel, although it is strange that it has a single comb…

It's like a throwback. It can happen, but if you want to have a little more correct Wyandotte chicks, you would not breed that one.

Single comb pops up in Wyandotte lines. But that already has red color so I’m saying cockerel.
