SLW GENDER PICS

[cheeptrick]

Hi all,
I'm so terrible at this...but can anyone give me any idea as to gender? I've never had this breed before and henderson's said they are early maturing??...but my guess at 9 week old compared with another same age and breed top two photos is ROO. What say you all?
I think ROO...

Another of ROO straight on....

Girl?

I am glad you posted those pictures.
I have 11 week old SLW and I was worred Edna was an Ed. Now I think I may have all girls!
They are about 5 weeks in this picture.

Edna is on the far right with the "Are you looking at me!" look on her face.

those look like all pullets to me.

It is definitely tricky to guess with Wyandottes. I had 4 GLW and all were supposed to be pullets. But around 5-6 weeks their combs started getting red. I was so worried they were all roos. as they aged, I noticed one for sure was a roo. His comb was much wider and more bumpy. The other three had red combs and waddles, but their combs were more smooth. I sold the roo and 2 pullets. I keep one but still the comb kept getting larger and redder. I was still not completely sure it was a pullet until she layed an egg.

My point, pullets thinner and smoother comb. Roo, wider and bumpy comb.
