TSC SLW - Roo or pullet?

[Zanzabeez ND]

I am questioning if this TSC silver laced wyandotte is a roo or not. Can I please get some opinions. Thanks so much in advance!!!

He/she has a straight comb and an off pattern so is mixed with who knows what. This bird was born mid march. Wing feather sexing said pullet. I am pretty sure that the other SLW that I picked up at the same time is a pullet. This bird is slightly pinker in the wattles and comb then the other TSC SLW but is nowhere near as red as the younger EE/barred rock roo that I also have.

Thanks!

Gorgeous bird!

How old is s/he? That would be useful information too.

how old is it?


edit to say: oh I see it was hatched in mid march...it is a pullet..that should be laying by the end of august to first of september

I would also say that she is a pure breed sliver laced wyandotte...probably the reason she has a straight comb is due to poor quality of parents and many generations of breeding brothers to sisters sons to mothers...it is ok to do that for a couple of generations to get the correct colors and patterns but to keep the future birds from being deformed and mis colored you have to have new blood lines every few generations.

Thank you all! Lol, I do like hearing that she looks like a she.

Also, I have to say thank you so much to Lots A Cluckin for your very informative posts.
