6 week old Polish

[Newtochicks21]

Hi. We are new to raising chicks and go back and forth on whether our 6ish week old Polish friend is a boy or girl. We would appreciate you taking a look and telling us what you think. Thank you.

Can we have a clearer pic of the crest and the full body? Pullets will have round crest feathers while cockerels will have slim, pointy feathers.

Close up of face, too. Side view so any wattle is evident. Pretty bird!

Oh and welcome to BYC!

Did their crest start out as a mohawk or a pompadour? All of my non-Silkie crested babies start out with mohawks if they're boys and pompadours if they're girls. Probably not fool proof but that's what I've noticed.

Those feathers in the front make me think male though.

I tried to get some better photos though we weren’t quite happy about the morning photo session. Haha! Hopefully these help. Thanks.

Here is the same chick 2 weeks ago for reference.
