8 Week Old Silver Laced Wyandotte - Pullet?

[Deanbk]

I bought from a reputable local chicken hatchery February 4th as a sexed pullet. 8 weeks old now. It was the only SLW, but have 2 GLW.

Had slow feathering but I know SLW can have the slow feathering gene. It isn't bigger that the GLW, comb and wattles aren't any bigger or redder.

Has some green iridescent feathers coming in on the tail but I know some breeds have this.

So....is it a pullet or cockerel. Or do I need to wait a few more weeks. *NOTE: raising chicks in the 'burbs. Keeping a few from this batch and the rest or going to our neighbor at our farm. Cannot keep roosters, hence why I'm trying to ID this one

Pullet. It doesn't have too large or red of a comb, and its legs aren't thick.

Pullet. My cockerele already has a lot more waddles and his feather pattern is less defined.

Cockerel. Its allready got sickle feathers and starting to get saddles.

Agree with pullet

Pullet 100%. The neck feathering does not turn black at the base of the neck (which at this point most male Wyandottes would have). Pinking this early is pretty normal for wyandottes looked like my girl at around that age.

@Deanbk Update, please? I've got some 8 week old GLW I'm trying to sex, and would love to know where you stand with yours.
