Would love confirmation on breed AND gender

[LadiesAndJane]

Agree that they are too young to be certain of genders. No obvious males.

Blue laced gold is a new color variety of Wyandotte.
From what I understand they are the same as a blue laced red though without the mahogany gene, so gold in place of the red coloring. It is not an officially recognized color yet.

That is what I was thinking - nothing said MALE to me, legs seemed pretty refined, not as thick as a male.

But I will admit, I have had chickens for decades and this summer a very nice pullet turned into a rooster over a week-end at about 4 months of age. Totally caught me off guard.

Fingers crossed! I’m analyzing them every day to see if any rooster-ness comes out haha.

Oh, that’s very interesting. Good information. Thanks!

The olive eggers look like them but you won’t know until they lay. Only about 80% of OE hens get the blue egg gene

Your EE is one of the prettiest I've ever seen! I have 5 of them and your pic looks a lot like mine did at that age. I think it's too early to tell.

Thanks!! He’s starting to crow so I think we have a rooster but I’m attached to him so hopefully he turns out to be a nice boy!

Yes, crowing is pretty much a dead giveaway! My EE rooster was terrible. But I've since found some really good videos on Youtube on how to tame a rooster and with my current batch of chicks (three of which are roos) I'm hoping to use the advice in those videos to ensure they are all good boys.

To me it looks like all are pullets but sometimes the roos take a little longer to be sure.
