SLW 4 weeks - Male or Female

[Hnndustin]

Our 4 week old silver laced Wyandotte is a real dink! I got her out of a tub of pullets at tractor supply. I'm starting to wonder if she's maybe a roo! Any thoughts?

She goes after the other three. I have all different breeds so can't compare her to anyone. She is the most curious and when my son points the laser light she is super fast and aggressive to get it compared to the other three.

Males, in my experience, start getting color in thier combs and wattles first. If yours does, and it looks like from the pics, its a rooster.

Yes, "her" comb is a much darker pink than it appears in the photos.

No. Our friends lost their rooster last fall. He would like him. He won't go in the stew pot though! Large happy home for him

Thank you everyone! Rona, now Ramon, has a new home! At four weeks old, he's already trying to boss some of the older ladies. Hopefully he calms. If not, he might make a better main dish than main man!
