Silver Laced Wyandotte - 4 weeks old - pullet or cockerel

[kmom08]

I know this is an old post, but Did yours turn out to be a rooster or a hen? I have 3 silver laced wyandottes bought through a hatchery and paid for all females, however my favorite one is looking like yours did with the pink color in the comb and tiny waddles starting to form. I hope she is not a he as I'm not allowed to keep roosters in town. Mine all turned 4 weeks old today.

Someone posted earlier on this board that wyandottes sometimes mature quickly in the comb/wattle area and I found this to be true with my pullet too. Her comb developed a blush around 3-4 weeks old and she started to form wattles so I was starting to sweat a bit but they haven't developed excessively since that time and she's approaching 3 months old now. The pics of wyandotte cockerels I've seen have bright wattles at 6 weeks and they're very noticeable. If you're still uncertain, you should know soon.

For fear of beating a dead horse,I know this post is old, but I would like to know what you found out about your pullets. I’m in the same boat with an un-sexed 4 week old Gold Laced Wyandotte that was sold to me as a sexed female Black Australorp.

I too would like to know. My SLW are quite squirmy and hate to be held. I am hoping any of them are pullets. I paid a lot $$$ for this batch of 12 chicks, 3 of them being SLW.
