*Updated* Gender?- silver laced wyandotte

I think I know but I just wanted to see your thoughts?

My not so shy Chick, Butch:





And my shy one, Mr. Petibone:





I can only get them out of the coop when It's cleaning day. They still love their home.

It's hard to say without seeing the entire body and knowing the age. I would guess boy though. The lacing I can see on the back looks like a roo's markings.

About 9 weeks old. I will try again in a few hours to get a full body shot. Maybe I should do some feather research on the breed to know what to look for.

Here is one of my female SLW that is 12 weeks old showing the back lacing. Her comb is non-existent, but I did have a SLW that was a female and very red in the face at 8 weeks. Now I'm leaning more towards girl The comb/wattles don't sway my guess - it's just the feathering that had me considering boy.

This would be easier if they would come out of the coop.

I agree, hard to say by these pictures...but if they are getting waddles at 9 weeks, they are likely boys(Butch for sure is a boy).
