Please tell me they're not both cockerels :(
This is sunshine berry (named by our daughter - we laugh and call him sunshine Barry lol) he's always been bigger and had thicker legs

This is snowflake
I initially thought this was a girl because s/he was always smaller and more timid. Both have a nice round pouf on their heads though so I'm stumped!

This one is kinda showing the size difference

Any advice would be very much appreciated
 
Gosh I hope you're right! It's just, last week they had no pink around their beaks at all, this week it's pink and starting to get little dangly wattles.
 
I heard that polish pullets only start getting pink wattles and combs at around 16 weeks :( that's why I was worried! Because they're going pink already
 
I think they are pullets too. Maybe "Yorkshire Coop," will see this and respond. She breeds polish and knows a lot about them.
 
Thank you for your reply! That would be great if she could respond! I just worry about those pink areas around their beaks and the small wattles
