3 week old Polish...Cockerel or Pullet? PICS

[MN Chicken]

All of you wonderful BYCers...please tell me...is this a he, or a she...or too soon to tell? This is my Polish chick, 3 weeks old. The chick is full of pin feathers on the neck and head (and chest), but is pretty much fully feathered on the wings and back.

I think the legs look pretty slim...which to me would indicate pullet.....but I'm no expert......

This is my sweetest chick. It jumps on my arm, or head every time I walk in the room, loves being pet, and looks side to side when i talk. I just love this bird...but alas...no roos in our hood...so I am trying not to become too attached.

In general I feather sex my chicks & find it is pretty reliable.

Here is how to do it just in case you are not familiar with it :

I thought feather sexing was only reliable in day olds. I got this Polish at about a week old. It has the longest feathers on a 3 week old I've seen, but I also thought that Polish were fast featherers in both males and females. I could be totally wrong though. I have a picture of its wing at 1 week, but I am not trained to spot feather charateristics:

I was thinking the legs were thick.... so I thought roo.

From the way the feathers on the head look, I am leaning on roo. My girls who are just a little older have a much fuller crest from side to side than the boys do.

Too early to tell. Come back in a few weeks.
