4 Polish chicks, are any of these pullets?

[Butler528]

Hello, I have these 4 chicks 2 are silver laced and 2 are black crested white. Never had any Polish so I am not sure what is what.

They turned 4 weeks old this past Tuesday 10-18.

Any help would be gladly accepted.

#1 Black crested white |

#2 Black Crested White

#1 Silver Laced |

#2 Silver laced

They look way too young to sex, at least for me. Polish often take a long time to show their colors.

I would agree, I would say at a minimum 8 weeks before any sort of accurate sexing could happen. Gotta wait until they get older juvenile or adult feathers

Here are the same birds at 6 1/2 weeks old. Still too early?

It is still quite early for Polish. But these appear to be non-bearded birds and they have tiny wattles still, so that is a good sign you have pullets.

I agree 100%

Here they are at 8 weeks. The 2 Silver laced seem to act more like pullets. The 2 black crested white seem to be developing a little more waddle than I am used to seeing on pullets.

The wattles are still pretty small. I wouldn't call it yet with any of these. If you part the crests and can locate the combs, that might help. The combs are two little horn like structures. If you see small and pale ones, that's a good sign for pullets. Larger and red is a good sign for cockerels. But often it takes a long time to tell with Polish, so be patient.

Black silver laced. This one I think is the only pullet of the bunch. I'm not seeing the same thin feathers in the crest as the others. 10 weeks 1 day old. Thoughts?

Here are the 2 black crested white, Im pretty sure they are both roosters. Both 10 weeks 1 day.
