I have 3, 6 week old polish and have NO idea how to tell wether they are pullets or cockerals.  Our other polish came to us as adults and it is very obvious who is what!  Any tips on sexing them at that age.  here are some pictures of them.  http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w311/chasehope/newchicks020.jpghttp://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w311/chasehope/newchicks021.jpg#1

Sorry the pictures aren't better, but I would appreciate any input

I think they are a bit young to tell... but when I had a few, the roos would have pointy head feathers while females were more rounded, give it a few more weeks and see who is larger than the rest and has flowier feathers.

I'm no expert, there is always something to learn, and my birds are livestock, so... yes, I may be quite blunt. wink.png
