Wyandotte-rooster or hen??

[peeber]

I got 4 Golden Wyandotte chicks. They are now 11 weeks old. Three in the first picture are smaller than the one in the other picture. He (?) is noticeably bigger, thicker legs, obviously more developed comb and wattle so I'm thinking he (?) is going to be a rooster. I checked hackle feathers, based on other threads and they are definitely a different shape also. Any opinions from others with more experience?

Yep, it's a cockerel. You have a very pretty flock! Gorgeous birds. I love GLWs.
