Is my Wyandotte pullet a cockerel?

[DemeterAD9]

I’ll double check. It may be older than 10weeks. Why is it’s tail like the hens tails and not the roosters then?

Each bird is an individual and they will mature at different rates even if they are the same age and breed. The difference in the comb and waddles between the bird in question and the yellow cockerel is minimal whereas looking at the pullet of the same color compared to the one in question it is night and day.

Your birds haven't really gone through their "final" molt before they reach sexual maturity. Their feathers are still changing, color are still appearing and I'm willing to bet you'll start seeing some long hackle feathers in the coming weeks. The curl in the tail feathers shows up later from what I've seen.

Ok, it sucks because I bought them as Pullets and ended up with 4/8 being girls. I will need to buy more as I only have 9 hens for two roosters.

Here is the comb of my GLW when she was exactly 10 weeks

Yes, I know it has a big comb. But I can’t get over how it’s tail feathers are identical to the hens and nothing like the roosters.

Wyandotte roosters often start getting red shoulders (feathers coming in that are not laced) around this age--look at your splash roos to compare.
I don't see anything suspicious on the blue chicken you've shown yet, but it looks like it still has feathers to come in (those oddly patterned baby feathers around the wings should be replaced by nicely laced feathers in a hen or mostly red for a roo in the next couple of weeks).

Wyandottes are notorious for having big and pink waddles young and turning out to be hens. Feathering is a much better indicator at this age.

The tail feathers are more pointed at the end though and it has much longer thicker legs Than the others

It’s legs aren’t noticeably larger than the others and it’s tail feathers are the exact same to it’s sister. The only differences being amount of black and wattle/comb size.

None are crowing. And they are nearly 13 weeks i beileve

 

[HamsHen50]

They are a little over 13 weeks. I’ll post a pic of the BLR “rooster” next to the splash rooster from when they were 7 werks

The one on the left is the BLR in question and the one in the back is the splash (1 week younger). Then a young maran pullet. The BLRs comb is much pinker and smaller than the splash’s in this pic
