All 3 look like pullets to me.

Although I live outside town limits it is a residential area so I am suppose to only have 2 chickens since the last vote. I bought 3 Wyandottes out of the pullet bin. After a couple of days I started thinking they're all cockerels so I bought a Barnevelder and an Australorp "pullet". Can I have opinions on the sex of the Wyandottes, (not guesses) as I don't want to waste my time raising cockerels. They are 2 months old. There are 2 solve laced and 1 gold.

So my Dot started laying 3 days ago (@ 22 weeks) and so far her eggs are very small (40g). how long does it take normally for the eggs to start getting to be larger? We have not cracked them open yet but will be doing that tomorrow as I don't have school then. The color is very pretty a nice light brown.

They will slowly enlarge over the laying season, usually about 2-3 months, during their second season the eggs will be at their largest.

I need some help. I have ordered some silver lace Wyandott, can you give me a picture of what the babies look like so I don't get some other breed.This place always has other chickens come in and they all look the same to me.

I see a few of you live in the south. I was was wondering how your Wyandottes do in high heat? I keep seeing them listed as excellent cold weather birds and was wondering if that meant they would be particularly bad in heat? They're such gorgeous birds, Id love to have some.

Mine have no problem here in rural inland Florida. Some I bought from a lady one county over, and some come from hatcheries: Ideal Poultry in central Texas, and Cackle in Missouri (which gets hot and humid in the summer too!). Just make sure they have shade and fresh water, just like any other critter.
