6 week old polish and bantam Cochin genders guesses?

[Krysea79]

Hey all!

Wondering if you guys could help me with some gender guesses. My husband is not believing me when I said both cochins appear to be Roos I am unsure about the polish. The cochins and black created white polish are about 6.5 weeks old. The silver laced polish is about 5.5 weeks old and the frizzle polish is about 4.5 weeks old. Thanks so much for your help!! We love these littles
Silver laced polish??

Frizzle polish

Frizzle cochin too?

Black Cochin too?

White crested black polish?

Based on my experience with polish, solely off of crest shape I'd guess the Silver Laced Polish is a male--maybe it could just be a very-awkward-teenage-girl, but my money's on it being a cockerel. The White Crested Black Polish's crest looks very female in my opinion, but I'm not expert. Still too young to tell anything for sure. One of them could get the reddest comb and start crowing by next week, so sometimes you just have to be patient.

Beautiful Chicks! Both Cochins are male. The Polish will take much longer to be sure. As they are not bearded, males will develop wattles fairly early. Females don’t develop significant wattles until just before they lay, at about 5 to 6 months. Can’t really go by crest at this age.

Aww thank you both so much! I was leaning towards Zelda (wcb polish) looking more girly and winter (sl polish) looking more like a roo. The frizzle polish I have no clue! The cochins have been red since they were 3 weeks old and I can already see the start to saddle feathers on the non frizzled Cochin so I was pretty sure they were roos. They are all so sweet
