Wyandottes 7.5 week gender

[malpal213]

Everyone’s favorite game - hen or roo? They are 7.5 week old gold laced wyandottes. #1 in the photos is who we were originally worried could be a roo because of behavior (chest bumping) but not so sure anymore.

2 could go either way but they look to be pullets so far.

Both are looking like girls so far.

I think that they are both probably hens, but #1 could be a roo.

Look like pullets to me.
Chest bumping is normal, our hens still do it as the dynamics of the flock seem to change, especially when they are young, during molt, and after a death of the flock.

Currently all looking like pullets. Chest bumping is not rooster specific, but part of how both sexes sort out the pecking order. Who is in charge and goes where in that order starts to get sorted out even as chicks. Think of toddlers playing. Even at such a young age both boys and girls will at times push/shove others around.
