Anyone have any Polish hatching eggs? I am trying out my new incubator. Right now I have Brahma and Orpington due to hatch any minute.

Hey guys! Been a while since I posted anything about the chicks we hatched. So I figured I'd post a few pictures and ask if anyone could tell me if one or the other looks like a male. We're calling them Thelma and Louise righr now. They're both very sweet and both (from what I can tell) do the submissive hen squat when I go in to care for them or go to pick one up. But I figured I'd get some opinions from everyone.

The combs look a little big for that age but not as red as I've seen on a lot of males.

So I don't know. Sorry. I've actually only ever had a few single combed birds and they were all females. I could give a pretty good guess on a pea or walnut comb

I have looked and looked and am going for both girls just because I can't see any saddle hackles but I could be wrong. June bug would be the one I would trust.

The only other thing I can think of is tail feathers. The black one (not 100% sure on either of their breeds, as they were eggs from a straight run flock) has more rounded tail feathers that are pointing up. The lavender one has thinner pointier tail feathers and I think they're starting to droop

Yes I can't really tell for sure what they are with any confidence.
