Silver Laced Wyandotte sexing

I have a GLW who is almost 19 weeks. I was sure she was a pullet but a few days ago noticed longer feathers coming out of her tail. Is it possible she is a rooster?

Looks like a roo to me.

That's a pullet. It's likely she is molting her tail feathers and that's why her tail looks a bit weird.

Def a pullet. Her face tells me she comes nearer to point of laying.

 

[jessg84]

I think she laid her first egg today!

 

[CluckTwice4Yes]

Woohoo! My oldest pullets are about 12 weeks. It's going to be a long wait! Haha

Yeah!

Here is Lavender, I'm pretty sure we have a (very handsome) Roo based on looks and personality. About 14 weeks old, was the tiniest and slowest to feather out of my 8 different chicks. However this is my first round of chickens so I'm not exactly knowledgable yet! Any ideas on if I'm right?

Looks like a roo to me but I'm on my first set of chickens (19 weeks). I had one male which became pretty obvious around 6 weeks. He was the smallest and slowest to feather. The tail and coloring stand out as male.

Thank you! I have felt pretty sure on Lavender's gender but it doesn't hurt to check with others since I'm so inexperienced!
