To me wyandottes are one of the hardest breeds to sex. I would post more pics in a couple of weeks - I really can't tell.
 
I have these as well and the females have more lacing. I think #1 is a hen and #2 is a roo, but it is still early......
 
I have SLW and these are hens. They develop red rose combs and little wattles early, both sexes. The lacing comes as they get older. Roos are more red than that and have bigger wattles and more white on their hackles and neck.
 
Pullets. How old are they? I'm guessing 8 weeks.

My Georgie had redder comb than those at 4 weeks, and at 9 weeks now the comb is developing and he has more wattles. But he still does not have roosterish back and tail feathers...

Edited for spelling error.

They look just like my girl and she is 2 1/2 months old now. I had to rehome 2 roos recently and they had much larger/red combs. Having them together it was easy to see. Not so easy otherwise.:<)
