Gender for Four Silver Laced Polish at 10 weeks old

[lloydrosell]

I think two are Cockerels and two are Pullets, but I wanted a more expert opinion before I passed on my Cockerels to the farm. The reason for my suspicion is that two have wattles. But I'm uncertain because the headfeathers only look like a guy on one of them, but only one really acts like a girl (black headfeathers). Thanks for your help!!!

white-er pointy shaggy crest equals male round rounded black-er feathers =female... Beautiful birds!

Thanks! I tried add lots of pictures but sometimes those four confuse me too! As you could tell by the names, I guessed those two might be guys. Peg doesn’t have the same beak features as the guys but definitely isn’t as obviously female as Polly.

I've been told the same rules of thumb about my crested birds; pointier head dress is male, rounder head dress feathers (smooth, fluffier look) are female this has certainly rang true for me thus far.
