Do I see red on that Polish's face?

Females shouldn't really have red in their faces that early.

 

[steve2495]

any ideas on the bantam ee or is it tytt?

I think the Polish is indeed a pullet because it appears that the topknot's feathers are rounded rather then pointy, which would indicate a cockerel

The EE is hard to tell because EE's are tricky.
It would help if you got us a closer-up pic of the head, so we can see the color and size of the comb and also a pic from the side, so we can see the saddle and hackle feathers

Yes, if possible, can you take a picture of the Polish chick's head? I'd like to see it up close.

Just because it's round now, it doesn't mean it will stay that way as it develops. I've seen WCB cockerels with pretty round crests young. Then they grow out of it later. Different Polish colors develop differently. WCBs usually start out with a default crest that begins the same, and changes over time depending on sex. SLs tend to have a more spikey crest, for both genders.

Adding: I'm not here to bash anyone. I just want to be open to all odds.
