9.5 wk old polish

[harice4806]

First time with the breed. With all my good layers I wanted some fun breeds. These 2 polish I'm afraid I'll never be able to sex them. They're 9.5 weeks. I know...probably too young. Just looking for some possible insight. First one is a little spitfire and pecks me like crazy when I'm cleaning or feeding. Big crest but not as "wild" as the 2nd. Second one has green on it's hackles but it much more docile. Don't mind my cochin Charlie photobombing lol.

My buff-laced Polish is 10-11 weeks old, and her crest feathers are very wide, rounded, more "poof-ball" like than "wild rocker style". Generally, around this age, the cockerels are the ones with the wild, stringy, rocker hair, so I'm gonna go with male on both pictures.

I would hold out a bit longer. I see no comb development on them yet. Hopefully they are pullets. The laced varieties can sometimes have a more wild hairdo.
