Two SLW

[solidstate]

These two were hatched approx March 9th. They’re hatchery birds from my local feed store.

Thoughts on sex? They were sold as sexed pullets.

Also, their combs don’t look like my SLW hen when she was a chick, she has a rose comb and I swear it looked different when she was a baby. Could be remembering wrong though lol

I am thinking the darker one may be a cockerel. It’s got a little attitude, reminds me of our rooster as a chick.

I think it's too soon to have a guess on sex but in case a reference helps at all this is my SLW Pullet (you're right about pea comb) at 5weeks. Post pics in a few weeks, it'll be interesting to see how they turn out!!

Silver-laced Wyandottes (all Wyandottes), especially from hatcheries, can sport single instead of rose combs; however, it is much to early to say whether the birds are male or female definitively.

Following here as I’m curious. I’m new to the breed, here’s my 5 week old SLW pullet…

These chicks are six weeks old today. Both are Dunlap hatchery silver laced wyandottes. Any idea on sexing?

#1 is looking a bit sus

I still can't sex them with any certainty. #1 might be a cockerel, but #2 is probably a pullet.
