Still can't tell!

[Coop de Grille]

I have read that Silver Laced Wyandottes are easy to sex if they are under two weeks old. My babies are 11 days old and I just can't seem to figure it out! Can anyone tell me if these are boys or girls? Am I looking at one girl and three boys?

it is way too early to tell thats why..lol try posting again when they are about 6-8 weeks old....

I think you are right.

Wyandottes are one of the more difficult to tell as far as gender goes. My GLW didn't start laying until 9 months of age, I was wondering if she was just a quiet rooster.lol

Cute babies. I wish I would of gotten a silver laced one too.

They are cute! I am also getting 8 Buff Orpingtons on Christmas, is there a way to sex them so I don't wind up with a dozen roo's?

No way to sex buff orps until it is way, way too late... unless you get them from a hatchery pre-sexed. I think they're one of the hardest to sex. I just can't tell the difference until the roosters crow or grow in their full saddle/hackle/tail feathers.

I can only speak from experience with my one chick. Here's how my hen who is a SLW looked at about 2+ weeks.

From that I would guess that the first photo of yours is a hen and that the others are slower feathering in are boys. But like other say, post again in a few weeks.

Way too early

, sit back, relax and watch them grow

Wyandottes are a hard breed to tell-unless you've done it alot

Wait til you start getting some feathers.
