wyandotte cockerel question

[woodenfarm]

Does wyandotte cockerels have more not so much lace pattern on their neck?
I have a 1 year old white laced hen she has beautiful patterned lace. But, the two Wyandotte we got this year one has the lace pattern and one has a little lace bit almost a solid white neck the way the feathers are.
I will try to get an ok picture of both of them at feed time in a few. They are in that awful bratty preteen stage.

Yeah, pictures would help a lot. I'm trying to envision a laced Wyandotte with a white neck and all I can think of is that maybe it is a splash laced red Wyandotte. Sounds more like a cockerel but who knows?

Both are silver laced and look like pullets. What age are they?

Yep, pretty certain they're pullets then. Pretty girls!

This one is a jerk
If you try to get or touch any of the other preteens it will try to bite your hand. Or will pull on the tail feathers to try to get it away.

100% Cockerel. Look at the size of those legs.
It you want to tame him, pick him up off often, hold him tight to your chest and just carry him around with you. You have to work with him before his hormones fully kick in. He will eventually see you are the flock master, not him.
