yes best of luck to everyone that will be showing this weekend. I wish I coulld go just to see all the chickens and learn more from talking to so of the best breeders around. It is very nice learning and helping each other on here from the great breeders to the ones just starting out with hight hopes!
Kathy I hope your eye gets better too.

Thanx for reopening this thread! I am a newbie with Wyandottes. I will be starting with a black BLR roo from Gretchen Bare's stock(courtesy of mame1616) and two blue BLR pullets from the Foley lines I have learned so much on this thread in the past and I hope it stays around so that it can educate myself and everyone else. Glad we have such good Mods on this website.

PS- good luck to all you breeders showing in Ohio. I will be there, but only as a member of the audience

Some of them are hard to see in the pictures....but, they all look like cockerels to me...I'm probably way off. Just offering my stuck-at-home, inexperienced opinion! I'm curious what everyone else thinks!

OK...Roos!

 

[Soaring Chicks]

These are the ones I wondering if they are going to be roos. Yes I would like to know what everyone else thinks too. Thanks for a reply. At least I'm not the only one at home this weekend!

It's hard to tell because it's not a great angle, but I think the single combed bird is a girl. I have a single combed SLW that I was worried was a boy for a long time, but am finally sure that she is in fact a pullet. Yours looks exactly like mine did in the face at 3 months. I don't really want to venture a guess at the others, since they all look like they are the same gender to me, but I really don't think that the comb/wattles on that last bird are large enough or red enough to be a boy at 3 months based on my own experience with a single combed wyandotte.

The ones I can see the combs on all look like young roos. How old are they?

Never mind I just saw they're 3 months.

Sept. 12 would make them 2 months......definately I'd say roos then.
