8.5 week old Silver laced wyandotte- male or female?

[User690263]

I have an 8.5 week old Silver laced wyandotte, and I can't tell if it's male or female. It's comb is pinker than my other 2 chicks of the same age, but I'm not totally sure. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!

Wyandotte are tricky, I'd lean cockerel. And he's gold laced. ;]

That's unfortunate. I live in the city, and so I can't keep any roosters. He/she is also one of the sweetest of my chickens. I guess I'll wait to see if he/she starts crowing. Thanks for your help!

I'm thinking pullet, because the lacing is so neat. With cockerels generally it's patchier. Wyandotte pullets also tend to comb up early.

Thanks! I also just realized that I said SILVER laced wyandotte instead of GOLDEN laced wyandotte

Since I've already started this thread, I might as well ask about my Speckled Sussex. Sorry this picture doesn't show more of the body, but it's the least blurry picture that I have of him/her.

Pullet, thus far.
