The Silver Laced Wyandotte Thread

[NanaKat]

I have been questioning whether or not this one might be a roo. Its comb & wattle are darker than the other SLW that is the same age & its feather pattern is splotchier with darker patches. The comb & wattle don't seem to be much bigger than the other SLW tho (if at all). They are 8 weeks old. Should I be able to tell their sex by now?

Pullets will have rounded ends on the feathers on their neck, wing and tail feathers. A cockerel will have pointed feathers and a definite spur button on the inside surface of his leg just about the "ankle".

Hi, generally speaking, Wyandotte are easiest to sex at 5-6 weeks of age.
