It looks pretty pink in the face to me, I'm going to go with male.

I agree, looks like a little roo. We had one like that ( you can see photos of him in my past posts), it took us along time to figure out what he was too.

Definitely a boy.

this is my slw pullet at the same age, I posted and was told roo, was so mad because I only had 2 from a feed store, sexed as pullets and they both looked like this. They turned out to be girls, so I would give it some time.

This post is so correct. It take a while for this breed to sometimes look like they should. I raised some Wyandottes last year from a great breeder. I had one little Blue that everyone knew was a hen. Small no color on its face....suddenly one day I looked and she/he had roo tail feathers!!!!! We called it my "Chick in Drag"!!
This is a picture of him at about 4 months

BLRW feather out differently. You can look under the breed page to see pictures. Roos almost look like BBR with most the lacing on the chest.

Can you please direct me to that thread?
I tried, but could only find the breed pages and the general Wyandotte thread.

Or do you mean I'll have to wait until they start their adult feathering and then I'll know??
I can wait - they're great, friendly little guys - enjoying them very much!!
