Hi all!

So last week I posted these 2 and I got told pullets. Last night I got told by many 2 Roos.

I miscalculated their age, went back and looked. I purchased May 31st and they were only a few days old. So tomorrow will be exactly 7 weeks since I got them. Along with pictures taken today/last night, I’m attaching one from 4 days after I got them.


#1 has much thicker legs than #2, too.

Thanks for your input!

I think both are pullets. They have lacing on their shoulder feathers, and the splash laced reds start getting solid/unlaced red on their shoulders pretty early. I'm pretty sure yours are both the splash laced variety rather than the blue laced, which just means they have two copies of the blue gene and their feathers are further diluted to a light blue-grey/white color.
Combs also look normal to me for wyandottes of this age.
