8 week polish genders?

[BastyPutt]

Thanks y’all! I am going to try spraying their hats today and will send pictures.

I'll be sure to check back for some sweet "doos" in the next few days

@BastyPutt I tried spraying their crest the other day but I didn’t see any difference. Should I be misting those feathers (that’s what I did, but maybe didn’t mist them enough?) or spraying them? I also found new a home for numbers 2, 3, and 6 since those were more than likely cockerels.

Just wet them and send pics. It is difficult to see, but I'll catch it.

Maybe even send me some updated pics in the next few days without misting. A profile shot of the head and of the whole bird. A week makes a huge difference in sexing poleys

Just a quick update that 5 & 7 are confirmed cockerels in addition to 2,3 & 6. #1 I am pretty sure is a pullet. I am still waiting on 4 & 8.

Hey thanks for the update.

Id probably amend my initial guess to include #4 as being a cockerel as well, but still a toss up. The neck is pretty solid black. Didn't notice that before.

@MillieChicky7, how did it turn out?

 

[MillieChicky7]

@BookWormDenise I am still waiting on two of them. I want to say that they are both Roos and maybe just late bloomers? I will have to take pictures today or tomorrow if the remaining three (1/3 I am confident is a pullet).

 

[MillieChicky7]

Okay I took some pictures of my three remaining polish (all confirmed Roos went to good homes). Over three weeks ago, I swear I heard one of these little friends crow, but oddly, it has not happened since? No one has the shooter feathers in the crest like all the other had or the ‘shiny’ feathers.

I always do a gentle wing test. That's the teller. But I could be wrong, are polish different than others breeds with wing split being female?
