5 weeks old silver Laced Wyandotte

Sorry for the blurry images. He's always moving. I think it's a boy because his tail feathers didn't start until the third week.
Also because he is always the first one to be on the next tallest places. I don't have another breed with rose comb to compare. What do you think? Is this baby boy or a girl?

So far nothing is saying cockerel. I'd guess it's a pullet.

Too young to say for sure. But I will say wyandottes do tend to feather more slowly than many other breeds commonly found in feed stores.

This is my blue laced red wyandotte pullet around the same age (4-5 weeks). She took forever to grow a tail!

Your Wyandotte is so cute! It's like she's wearing a little skirt.
All three came from a hatchery. Buff's tail started when she was a week old. I'm happy to hear everyone thinks Henry is a girl. I don't want to eat fertilized eggs and those three are so bonded, I can't imagine separating them.

Thanks! She grew up to be a gorgeous girl
