True or False? (UPDATE WITH PICTURES ADDED! ROO OR NOT?)

I read somewhere that GLW roosters only have lacing on their chests. Is that true at six weeks? I have one with lacing on her back feathers as well and I'm hoping that means she's a girl.

Posting a pic would help

This might help you but there is no pic of a cockerel.

Thanks all, here are some pics of Winnie (7-ish weeks now).

(by the way, I know she should have a rose comb, as we have two big GLWs with gorgeous big rose combs, but I love her anyway.)

I updated to add some pictures as requested.

I am going out on a limb... she looks like a she to me. the comb is yellowish not reddish... she would have I'm sure had a red comb by now had she been a roo. I'll bump you... see what others think...

May be a roo, those area really thick legs. Any better face or side shots?

I'm kinda up in the air about that one. Is she/he hatchery stock? In my experience usually only girls have lacing on the back/wings at that age, but with hatchery stock that can be thrown out the window sometimes. And those legs do look a little thick...but, I'd expect a little redder comb by this age too.

Just an update that Winnie was a girl! In case someone out there is looking for info on their GLW!
