Gender of 5 week old white crested polish?

Hi everyone. I know it's a bit early, but any guesses on gender for my white crested polish baby? My Silkie has been raising it so I have no other siblings for comparison.

I'm going to guess pullet. If it continues to develop a rounded rather than a spikey crest, it is a pullet for sure.

5 weeks is way too young. Polish and Silkies are among the most difficult breeds to sex early.

There is a large gap of time between 5 weeks and maybe 5 mos. to accurately sex them. Please post new photos around 5 mos. old.

One more question. At 5.5 weeks I'm seeing the beginnings of little pink wattles forming. This seems early? Is this a good indicator?

6 weeks? Gender?

Looks like a pullet to me. Crest is coming in nice and round and even.
