I'm generally unlucky and newish to raising chicks, so pretty sure I've got a rooster on my hands here, but just for fun...
I was given what I was told are 2 Golden-laced Wyandotte / Welsummer crosses. It's week 6 and #1's had a sudden growth spurt and its comb has started to get a bit pink around the edges and despite the former owner's guess that both are pullets I'm now thinking roo. Just received them so not sure when feathers came in, etc., and both birds have pointy feathers at this point, so that's not helping much with the mystery.
I just joined Backyard Chickens and the board won't let me post pictures yet, but I'm going to try replying to my own post with 3 pics of the guy/gal/?.
In the meantime, any experience with these breeds and when were you able to tell their sex?
THANKS!
