Silver Wyandotte rooster!??

[PirateGirl]

Now that I see the tail better I change my vote to cockerel too.

I’m starting to lean towards rooster...

All of my girls have bigger, redder combs than that and there’s no doubt they’re girls, they’re all great layers.

But none of my hens have long pointed saddle feathers like that. I could take some pics later of my girls and post them for comparison if you think it would help??

Amazing what a difference a photo angle can make. Yes he looks much healthier in that photo. Head and tail are up and eyes are alert.

Where is he from? Or did you produce him?

Cockerel- male saddle feathers are present despite of the nice lace pattern.

Hatched from eggs bought on eBay

Wow, he looked a lot like a girl before! I guess I'm voting for cockerel then.

That's a pullet. That comb is too small for a 4 month old Wyandotte rooster. This is a black laced red at almost 4 months.

Comb and wattles growth is not always accurate with birds under 6 month of age. As not all birds mature at the same rate. Slow developing cockerels can look like pullet for a long time. But saddle feathers are unequivocally male trait. There is no doubt the OPs bird is a cockerel.

I change my vote also, cockerel. First pic was very misleading. LOL

Where do you see saddle feathers? I see a wet bird with droopy feathers.
