[jhopp6]

Thank you for your response JanetS. I'm thinking pullet too. No roo like behavior yet

Man I have a five week old SLW and am having problems confirming the sex. I went over the list posted with mixed results, maybe someone can help me. I ordered Freckle Face from MyPetChicken as a one day chick, ordered female sexed, so Freckle Face is hatchery stock. This is the only one out of the nine chicks I ordered that I don't know for sure. Here's the stats:

1. five weeks old
2. fine legs
3. medium sized pinkish and black rose comb
4. wattles just started to develop last week, they are pinkish but not curved
5. fully feathered except under wings and fluffy butt
6. long pointy tail
7. broad laced feathers on neck
8. wing bow covered in small feathers
9. darker than almost all roo pics at same age I've seen
10.very round
11. carries itself just like the confirmed pullets

Here's some just taken pics

comb and broad feathering on neck wing with small feathers on bow just developed white on wings feathers completely covering back

Please tell me they got this one right too

a better disciption of coloring on comb would be subtle transition from beak to top of comb going from black nearest beak pinkish orange in middle to yellow at top of head. lol ff is sitting on my computer just chilling guess ff is just as curious to what ya'll will say

Can someone please let me know if this is a pullet? She is about 12 weeks old. I tried to attach 3 pictures. Thanks!

Sorry for the multiple posts. I couldn't seem to attach more than one picture. Thanks for any advice. This is a very sweet chicken. I pray I can keep her.

How'd she turn out? To me, her tail says Pullet. Long straight strong tail feathers.

I've got 4 SLW chicks now--7 1/2 weeks (all from mypetchicken.com), but I'm afraid that 3 of the 4 are roos. =(

Wyandottes do not have white earlobes or single combs. It's definitely not a wyandotte.

Wait, what? My SLW has white earlobes...

Wait, what? My SLW has white earlobes...

Yours is still pretty young. They'll start to get redder around the same time as her comb and wattles. The Mediterranean breeds like leghorns, anconas, and andalusians all have a big white spot behind the ear. Wyandottes shouldn't have that.
