7 week old Polish

[JustBabyMargo]

Looking like a pullet. This variety of Polish is meant to have wattles and can often have them early on. The crest shape is the most important when sexing Polish, and this one has a very round crest for now. If your chick starts to grow in any of these spiky, long feathers, it’s a boy, but I’m thinking it’s a pullet for now.

Spiky, long feathers:

Bummer. He’s a cockerel. Are you going to be able to keep him?

What about it says cockerel? I am not experienced so I'm just trying to learn all I can!
Yes thankfully keeping him shouldn't be a problem. There's no ordinances preventing it and so far my other 15 all appear to be pullets.

Wattle development and male specific feathering.
How old is he now? 11 weeks?

His face has gotten very red as well as his wattles and his comb. The big give away is his crest feathers. They are very long and pointy, whereas females have rounded feathers.

Okay yes I noticed the crest feathers seemed pointy. And I was wondering since he has more wattles than other birds I have who are a month older. Thank you!
