5 Week Polish with Red Wattles = Definite Roo??

[ChickieChickieMama]

I'm new to polish chicks and I've heard they're notoriously hard to sex, especially at a young age, but my splash polish chick has developed some huge red wattles already. For contrast, my wcb that's the same age doesn't have any at all!

From the start I felt that this one was a little roo! Is it possible a pullet would look like this at this age?

The first one looks like a cockerel to me, But a little more time will tell for sure.

The one in the first picture on the right is a cockerel and the other two look like pullets.

Oops I guess I should have been more clear, haha yes it's the one on the right I was thinking must be a cockerel. The one next to him is my white silkie!

Thanks for weighing in! Personality wise though, Agador (my wcb) is very friendly, assertive, brave ...all those fabulous cockerel traits, while Opal (my splash) is flighty and timid like a pullet. Haha. I guess only time with tell...but my money is on Opal being a cockerel.

White Crested Black Polish chick. The black and white wacky one in the second pic (who is my fave of course. The wackier the better in my books!)

No problem! Haha after you asked about it I had a moment where I thought maybe I just made that up and that's not what people call them.

Yes, I agree... the white polish is a cockerel while the white crested is pullet (the silkie may take awhile lol)
