Oooo-kay. HEEEELP!! please... Here are the 2 black crested white bantam polish chickens I got from the local feed store. My guess is that the white one is a rooster and the speckled one is a hen. They are the same age. (Aprx 7 wks) We had an issue with plucking from my light brauma and have seperated them since. These 2 were NOT together when the plucking happened. Also I ordered saddles for all my girls. The comb and waddle is not as red as it looks in the picture on the speckled one. It is really just kinda pale pink. The white ones in contrast is reeeeeally red. My question today is... Can anyone confirm my gender guesses?

With red combs at their age they are probably males, but I can't see the comb clearly.
Lol. Yah, they're both busy little puffs! The white one has a VERY RED comb. The speckled ones comb is nearly all white in life. It looks red in pic, but not in life. I will try to get better comb shots.
 
Both look cockerel
Yah. The hair, right? But the behavior is different drastically, and white one has a MUUUUCH redder comb and waddle. That's why I asking forum. Cant tell any distinct differences. I thought my third was a male based off of hair until about 2 weeks ago, when her rock star hair do turned into a full afro and she nvr crowed. The white one has crowed... the speckled one has not. Hhhmmmm.

Lol, just realized, my profile pic is my older girl when she was the same age. Her hair was similar then...
