Silver laced wyandotte gender help!

[jenn2350]

I have 3 week and some days old chicks here and one is looking more rooster to me.

I have searched and searched online but see many different opinions when trying to identify gender on this breed.

Any ideas this early?

Yes one looks a little more rooster like, but they are a little too young. You'll notice glossy pointy feathers on their lower back soon, identifying that it's a roo.

Looks like a cockerel and a pullet

The one on the top right in photo #1 is a cockerel! Are ya keeping him????

The one with the larger comb is looking like a cockerel, it’s still too young to tell though.

If he is indeed a rooster we cannot, we live in the city.
I have a good home lined out for him though.

Are you sure on the age? Look much older than three weeks to me.

I'm not spotting anything that screams cockerel on either. Nice, even pattern. I've found some Dotte pullets' combs redden up early.

Are you able to update us in another few weeks?

The feed store said they were less than a week and we got them three weeks ago. So could be 4 weeks at this point. Not really sure, only raised one other batch of chickens before this.

Yes I will update again. Here's hoping he is just a faster-maturing she.
