Silver Laced Wyandotte sex?

[kmom08]

Okay, so I purchased 3 silver laced wyandottes from hoovers hatchery along with my other chicks. They are now 7 weeks old as of yesterday. 2 have the rose comb and my crazy speedy one has a single comb.

The one in question is my favorite she's also feathered out the quickest. Please note I did order all females because I'm not allowed to keep a rooster where I live. I do know there is always a chance for error when sexing newly hatched chicks. What do you all think?

The last picture is more for comparison with my other rose comb wyandotte. The one in question is in the front. It's so hard to get pictures when they are constantly on the go.

I'm sorry to say, but that one looks like a cockerel.

That's what I've been afraid of, but I still refused to call her a he. I read sometimes wyandottes mature at different rates.

That's true, but that comb is wide, and those wattles are rather well developed.

I'd give it a couple more weeks and try again. But I'd also lean toward it being a cockerel.

at 7 weeks old, I think it's a cockerel

Bummer. I know my 9 year daughter will be disappointed, it's her lap this wyandotte was sitting on, but It's been on my mind since I noticed waddles forming before the others. The comb was also blush colored at 4 weeks.

Updated pictures. Now 10 weeks old.
Now I'm thinking my single comb wyandotte could be a boy as well. She's always chest bumping and just acts crazy compared to the rest.
1st picture is the same wyandotte from the original post. Side view it's hard to see but she/he has alot more white on the chest.

Below shows Back view the one on the right is the one I've been questioning, but the one on the left is also in question now and has a single comb we call her "speedy aka crazy"

3rd picture shows speedy/crazy next to my 3rd wyandotte that im sure is female. It's so hard to get photos of speedy/crazy because she hardly ever stops moving.

I will try again for better pictures. Any guesses on sex at 10 weeks?

I have one SLW that looked like yours when young. Everyone said it was a definitely male. It ended up being a female. I’d say pls post pics back in 2-3 weeks.

The first one with the rose comb ended up being a girl
