Our Gold Laced Polish is 5 weeks and change. I am not seeing wattles, not really even a comb, so maybe there is hope yet!

Someone else in a different thread mentioned that a single polish isn't a good idea because they could be picked on, can you weigh in on that?

Phyllis spent much of her 5 years as the only polish in my flock. My alpha hen Aurora greatly disliked her but aside from that she wasn't really bothered. When she passed she wasn't even the bottom of the pecking order here. I think she did excellent.

This is my cockerel Versace at the same age. He also had no wattles or comb so I'm not sure that means anything. Polish wattles are very small. The stubby tail is very similar. It was the fact that Versace never got his tail that first led me to the fact that he was a boy.

Spoke with the blue silkie breeder, we have (so far) 3 girls, one confirmed cockerel, and 1 probably cockerel.

Cadet, probably cockerel with that comb

Delft and Periwinkle, probably pullets

Delft is just gorgeous

An angry Ayam Cemani to round out the evening.

He's my smallest chick, and is BIG MAD about it.
Also kiddo named him Cemani.

Jenn, you be careful with an Ayam Cemani! They have many friends.

He is beautiful. Did you have to rehome him because of being a cockerel?
