5.5 week wcb polish

[AngBantamLuv]

I got my 4 little chicks who are now 5.5 weeks old. The biggest i started calling Big Boy... and was so happy thinking the 3 smaller ones would be female. But all 3 smaller ones now have bright pink hanging wattles

I am thinking Big Boy might possibly be my only girl! The crest feathers that aren't still pinned seem round.. the other 3 are getting larger than Big Boy, and i only see flesh colored, still flat, wattles on (him/her).

Here are my pics of Big Boy (the other 3 are obviously male to me)... **there is a lot of window and kitchen lighting, so the flesh on the scalp, feet, and chin look pinker than they actually are. My hand looks like it belongs to the pink panther.

Hoping the crest looks girly.

They are all not screaming cockerel. Too young.

@cherrynberry Just updated the post to clarify... didn't bother posting my for sure males.. that one is just the many angles of Big "Boy" (hoping Big Girl)

Ok, let me catch one..

Ok... here are the 3 i think might be male (hope im wrong on the last, but i don't think so..)..

Chicken nugget #1
Those pink wattles are actually bright pink..


Chicken nugget #2
Could only get one pic.. it could see the microwave


Chicken nugget #3
This has been the smallest all along.. and sweet, and i had been hoping it might still be female.. but the wattles are getting pinker and starting to come down. Overall looks similar to the other 2. But i welcome being told im wrong!!!

Honestly I think it is still too early!
Big boy looks like a Big Girl. The others are still wait and see.
#2 is the only likely cockerel as far as I can tell.

I know... its early, and i do have time to wait.. I just want to cut the attachment cord on the males asap, since im a crybaby mama! at this point, I'll be happy with one female!!

I don't know why my camera picks up color the way it does. But nuggets 1&2 have actually bright pink wattles.

I think #3 has the best chance of being a pullet! But we’ll see! Keep us posted!! I totally know how you feel I got 6 unsexed polish chicks and it was horrible to wait! Luckily only one ended up being a boy! He looked really similar to #1 and #2 and the third one looks kind of like my Birdie (a pullet!) who looked almost identical to my cockerel (Sunny) when they were around this age!
