Three weeks ago I posted photos of the wings of wyandotte chicks.... I guessed two pullets and 4 cockerels, based on the huge difference in feather growth.
I put a leg band on one of the pullets to keep track of her.
Today I took photos of each. 5 gold laced and one 'mismatch' silver laced (accidental shipment)
I still believe the two original 'guesses' are hens based on lack of pigmentation of their developing combs (1 silver and 1 gold).... Here are photos of each bird. Be curious as to what more knowledgeable folks would think.
Also of note, the four that I think are cockerels still have a lot of down on their wings.. the other 2 have feathered out much more quickly.
