Hello!
Since the holidays I have decided to start breeding Wyadnotte chickens (For personal use).
I started with gold, but silver got there.
I was able to distinguish the sex of the rest of the chickens, but unfortunately I have a problem with two of them.

1. GLW (Golden)
I think it's a rooster.
Unfortunately, unlike the rest, it has a different comb (the rest have a flat one).

2. SLW (Silver)
I think it's a hen.
I can't compare it with others because I only have one piece (the eggs must have mixed up with the golden ones).

PS. Sorry for the quality of the photos, but unfortunately I couldn't take better quality ones at the moment.
The birds are from early September.

:welcome How old are they? To me they look like pullets at the present time.
Early september 2024.
In the case of the rest, you can already see the differences based on the color and size of the bird. The cockerels have red combs and are much larger, and the hens have slightly pink combs.

In terms of size, the golden one is a bit smaller than the roosters, but larger than the hens. However, the silver one is like other hens.

Golden is a female. Silver is hard to tell unless better photos.
 
Close to 12 weeks-ish? I'm leaning pullets based on the hackles, but there's still time for change. 😅 I think the silver one is pretty safe to call it though! 🎀

Interesting that the golden has that single comb! What do her parents look like?
Yup - about 12 weeks (To be more specific, they started hatching on September 3-5.).
I only have photos sent by the breeder.

In the case of the golden one, you can see one hen with a different comb. And the only silver ones were 2 hens and 1 rooster.

@sybonbon Added 2 photos (Unfortunately, I had to make it in the field kitchen. I will be able to take better photos when there is daylight.).
