5 weeks silver laced wyandottes - slow feathering indicates possibly roos to be?

[chooki]

So I have purchased 3 SLW, 3 barnevelder and 1 Australorp from a breeder. So far I am about 70% convinced that there are 2 female barnevelder, 1 male barnevelder and 1 male Australorp.

But I am still baffled what the 3 silver laced wyandottes are. They are about 5 weeks when the following pictures are taken. As you can see, the silver laced wyandottes are bit behind at feathering.

I have heard that slow feathering happens more in male than females, does this & the rather red combs indicate that I have got 3 roos (to be)?

I believe all three are pullets. Wyandottes of both sexes can feather out slowly, and can show a fair amount of comb early on. Update in two or three weeks to be sure.

Pullets, I think.

If male, the *ought* to show their male-specific color pattern within the next month or 6 weeks.

Sorry, not very helpful.

The 3 wyandottes look like pullets! Here is a reference photo of what mine looked like she was slower feathering to.

Thanks for your unwavering faith at believing them being pullet.

I would love to have at least 1 pullet amongst them because I always end up with wyandotte cockerels .. like .. always.

Im just going off what my pullet looked like at that age. Lets hope they are pullets!

Based on my pullets at that age, I think they're pullets. But their lacing pattern is much more vibrant than either of my girls' at that age.
