This is a young Polish chick... 7/8 weeks old or so.  The feathers on the crest are rounded/blunt when compared to some of the other chicks the same age/size.

 

Sorry the pics are slightly blurry.  My phone wasnt cooperating.

Ha...thanks so much.  I don't like the waiting and we got this one REALLLLLLLY hoping for a pullet.  I guess I just have to play the waiting game!  Thanks for your input and pics.  You have a very cute little girl there!

Well, I didn't find out my Silkie was a cockerel until he was 16 weeks old, so it could be worse. lol. I guess we're asking for it when we pick these breeds.
