The Wyandotte Thread

[ashncarson]

I was wondering if anyone could help with Gender on some wyandotte mixes. I got better photos today. This is the one in question. I am trying to work on lining up homes for the roosters and I would have to give it away and have it be a pullet

They are only 4 weeks old, but one other I know is a rooster for sure, but he has a single comb. I have never had this type of comb

I have seen this one peck on the other chicks and pull out some down.

I am super bad at sexing... maybe try reposting on the "what sex gender" sections, so you get more people to look the photos over.

Mixes are tough because they don't follow the normal rules, especially the combs. I would say at 4 weeks if the comb is red it usually is a cockerel. Wait until 6-8 weeks and repost an update.

Just got my ten gold and silver wyandottes yesterday!

My chick just crowed, my 12 week old Barred Rock cockerels were taking turns practicing their crows when my buff Wyandotte crowed. I thought she was a pullet, she has a flat comb and no wattles. I don't rember seeing any saddle feathers, but will take a closer look.

This is her a couple weeks ago.

Was it a real crow or maybe she was practicing?

i am not sure, it sounded like a "ka-bawk, ka-bawk" It sounded the same as my barred rock cockerels. nothing else is cockerel on her, no comb, no wattles, no saddle feathers, she looks like a pullet but sounds like a cockerel, she is high up in the pecking order.

ka-bawk is the sound a hen makes

that is good to hear, maybe she is just trying to show up the boys
