11 weeks old, they are little chickens now, no more fluff to be seen We still thinking the only Roos are 1 and 2? They are the only ones with pointy saddle feathers showing. The second rooster is very shiny.

Thanks for the replies, it's great because I don't like culling off the poor lads just for being boys So having more girls is great I love to spoil them

Oh really? It's very small compared to the other birds too, and slow feathering. It's the feathering really that led me to believe it might be a roo since all my previous slow featherers turned out that way. I've never had a Wyandotte before though, so maybe! I'll update in a few weeks!

My BLR wyandotte feathered in painfully slowly. So slow. She was still half chick fuzz when everyone else was fully feathered. Poor girl didn't have a tail until she was like 14 weeks old!

Awwe, I felt sorry for mine too, since everyone else was running around in the rain without worry and she was getting soaked! I'm so pleased that my one's looking to be a hen, it's so pretty and the slow feathering did have me worried for a long minute! They do like to keep us guessing

Update nearly 14 weeks.

The White, Wyandotte, Black (Ayam cross), Grey all appear to be female.
The two black obvious roosters are now trying to crow, play fight a fair bit and have obvious male feathering.

There is one I am still uncertain on... This Orange/Buff and white bird with a small pink V shaped comb... I dont see any male specific feathering as of yet unlike the two other boys. It's wattles' redness is which concerns me though! What do you think?

She's a very pretty pullet. Her coloring is feminine and he comb is still fairly small.
