View attachment 1032329 any thoughts on my 4 week old Wyandotte? View attachment 1032329 View attachment 1032330 Her comb is a little pink, but from what I've read these guys so.etudes mature a little early?

I've learned slw's can mature a little early as well. I'm on the same boat as you. My SLW is 8 weeks old and has had red comb and wattles since 5 weeks old and I'm still not sure as if it's a boy or a girl.
As for your bird, i'd say wait until that chick is 7-8 weeks old to know a bit more. Keep an eye on the legs thickness and length. Short and fine ones are girl's legs. As for the red wattle/comb, I wouldn't judge just yet based on that alone at such an early age.

I thought that these were both girls... Could I be wrong? The first two pics is champion, the second two is earnest. Im starting to think that earnest is an Earnie instead. Help!!View attachment 1031629 View attachment 1031632 View attachment 1031623View attachment 1031627

How old are they?

Thanks. Will keep my fingers crossed and keep waiting.

1 and 4 look to be developing their combs already so presuming male even though the "Dominique" only has a single barring gene. 2 and 3 look like pullets.

Any one have an idea if these GLWs are roos or pullets?

We need better pics.
But in the second pic I see a boy.
And probably more. But we need face pics.
Thanks!

Those are NOT pullets. Females will nice lacing while boys have barring. Honestly, that's the least laced ones I've EVER seen so far. There's not a girl in the bunch.

I would be surprised if that turned in to a girl. As the lacing comes in it will confirm. In my experience, while I was able to see combs and waddles pretty young on my Wyandottes, the girls themselves did NOT mature early, but lay later than most my other breeds.

However, the comb isn't that big and the pink can be deceptive flushing. So I wouldn't jump straight to a conclusion based on this pic. Do you see waddles? I can't see them in the pics. As the lacing comes in, it will be very clear lacing on girls. On boys, near the top of the wing it becomes more mottled or barred/blotchy than laced. Usually very easy to see once it's coming in good.
