10 Week Old Buff Polish Gender

[nightwing1]

Welp. I have a hunch on this, but would love some input since I'm having a tough time confirming via Google Search. Here's my 10 week old Buff Polish that came from our local feed mill. She's been "squaring off" with her 3 flockmates, but I chalked it up to early pecking order behavior. I basically rationalized the wattles as maybe being more prevalent because she's not bearded. Her tail feathers still stick straight up, but its looking like her head feathers about about to get messy. This morning, though- she crowed about 5 times in a row before I got out to let them into their run....so.....she's a he?

Thanks for any input!

10000% cockerel. The wattles are huge for that age, unfortunately.

Thanks, everyone- I appreciate the input
Super disappointing turn of events, but thankfully I found a great home for him with a friend who will keep spoiling him rotten.
