8 week old gold laced polish chicks, any guess on the gender? The waddles are not red, they are pale.

They no longer need the heat lamp at 8 weeks.
Taking better pictures without the red light will be helpful?

I’ll do that. The heat lamp glare is from the brooder cage beside them

I added pictures without the red glare. But they are from last week. The pictures with the red are from yesterday

I think it is too early for accurate guesses. Crested breeds take longer to tell. You can send in samples to a lab if you are impatient. Otherwise I think it's going to take a while.

I'd wait abit longer. Polish can be a little tricky to sex sometimes.
