Wyandotte Pullet or Roo?

[pitterpat4353]

I really want this Silver Laced Wyandotte to be a pullet...but I think she is a he. What do you

think? She/he is 7 - 8 weeks old in this picture.


And here about 4-5 weeks

Looks like a pullet, I have 4 SLW hens, one has GREEN eyes! I love 'em but they're skittish even though hand raised.

I'm not sure, it seems like for a 4-5 week old those wattles and comb are pretty red. I'm leaning toward cockerel.

The hackles look like they are getting longer and pointed. Saddles are getting somewhat lengthy too. And a lot of red showing, might be a cockerel.

I’d say cockerel looks a lot like mine did at that age.

Right now I'm leaning towards cockerel. But this breed can surprise you... Could you post more pictures in a few weeks?

x2. Something else that I don't know if plays to big of a part, but those legs look pretty thick and sturdy to me, a trait that cockerels often have.

Thanks everybody! I need to be patient. I will post some updates in a couple of weeks.

Might still be too early to tell, but don't give up hope your little is a pullet. I have a SLW who I was 75% convinced was a roo based on feedback after sharing pictures - she developed a red comb and wattles early - but she turned out to be a girl-chicken after all. Do you by any chance have others of the same age that you can compare legs with? That was the one thing that had me holding off on whether or not Agatha was a girl or boy (her legs weren't very big/thick).
