Wyandotte rooster or hen?

[Fluckadoodledoooo]

Hello! I’m very new to raising chickens I have two ameracaunas and one Wyandotte that I got together the two others are very obviously hens but this one was so different in temperament (skittish, unfriendly and talkative) that we assumed it was a too. Because I have just recently bought a hen that we thought was a rooster because she crowed and didn’t lay only to be informed that it was a hen who had chosen to be a rooster I decided I wanted to check out Wyandotte hens and roosters to see if I was right in thinking it was a roo. Now I’m convinced it’s a Hen. This was the chicken at ten weeks and I’ll upload recent ones at twenty! Wondering if anyone else has any guesses?

You have a pullet/hen depending on age.

Oh no! And also yay! I’m happy she is a pullet but is there anyway to make her friendlier? I thought she was like that cus she was a rooster! There’s no way it could be a rooster?

She may settle down once she starts laying. Try giving out mealworms as treats.

I would say it's a pullet if it's 20 weeks old

She’s beautiful!!!
My slw is my most skittish out of my 7. They are 12 weeks old now. I’m hoping she comes around also.

Thank you! She is lovely! I hope yours comes around too!

No way she's a cockerel. She's definitely a pullet. Those are very female saddle feathers, not a single male characteristic to her.
Incidentally, she'll be a pullet until she's a year old. Likewise, males are cockerels until a year old when they're known as roosters.

To make her friendly, as suggested above, I'd break out the meal worms. I also use a special call when I feed treats to my chickens. They come running! And even the new members to the flock learn the behavior!
