Buff Laced Polish, roo or pullet?

[PurpleDaze]

So when we got this little girl at a day old she was small, much smaller than our Golden Laced Polish. So I'm also wondering if she might be a Bantam Polish? But she feathered out very slow, and her crest seems to be taking forever to grow out, unlike our other Polish. I started to wonder if Poofy was a roo because the crest is so different that Priscilla. Any help would be great appreciated!

Poofy (8 weeks old)

Priscilla for comparison (8 weeks old, we had to tie up her feathers so she could see better)

(9 weeks old)

They both look like pullets for now. Update in another few weeks.

My 2 8-week old Laced Polish have pretty wild head of long feathers, both sold to me as pullets, but been told by several people here that they are cockerels. :-(

I know this one for sure is a male. Both are just 2 months old.

Polish can be tough-- I'd give the gold laced a few more weeks before posting again. You could try catching it and pushing back the crest to see if the comb is getting reddish. If so, then you have another boy.
