10 week old bantam polish gender

[polish mama]

This one is one we aren't sure about.....

well we have our suspicions... looking for confirmation.

He/She is 10 weeks old, bearded Bantam.

She looks like a pullet to me, though it’s a little early for Polish. What are your suspicions?

I think this one is a rooster . We hatched 6, and from the early way of telling 2 appeared to be roosters. Their personalities too! Then you could no longer tell & due to several things this one became the sweetest most loved one… but now he is starting to look rooster-y again (just looks). The hackle fathers are much more prominent then on the others, there appear to be saddle feathers and some of the crest fethers are pointed. Unlike, say this hatch mate

The crest does look quite scraggly, but what I can see of the comb is pretty light pink. Unfortunately we can’t use the wattles to tell, because he/she’s bearded. It’s also too early to see any male-specific feathering coming in, that usually appears at 12 weeks or so, and can be pretty hard to see on white chickens. I say update in another couple weeks and see what others think.
