Hey everyone,
I bought 5 chicks from feed stores 3 weeks ago, and they are all supposed to be pullets. I still think they are, however I would like a second opinion for one of my two Silver Laced Wyandottes. She (will not ever call a he until she crows, haha) acts the same as the rest of them, haven't noticed any dominant behavior; though they are really young. However, she does look different when it combs to comb development.
1. This is a full body view
2. I've heard that roosters/cockerels tend to have sturdier and larger legs, but they are the same size and shape of the other wyandotte, plus there is no spur development.
3. The lighting is horrible, and I'll take another one in case it's important, but here is a view of the comb/waddle development. The comb is pink (not RED) and has come in faster than the other Wyandotte, but it's not pronounced at all. You can see that she does have some small waddles coming in. This is also a good view of her shoulders and face color, in case that's important at all.
4. Here is a view of her back, and it's the best shot I could get of her tail feathers (she does not like standing still, and I only have two hands haha). The feathers are rounded and look the same as the other Wyandotte's.
5. Finally, here is a view of her wing. As you can see, the feathers are quite rounded, not pointy.
As it says in the title, she is 3 weeks old. I don't know if it's too early to tell, but I wanted to ask and post pictures just in case someone noticed something I didn't. I will keep this thread updated for the weeks and months to come and take note of any changes. Thanks for reading!
