I'm beginning to think I have a cockerel :(

So I couldn't resist picking up a Polish Crested chick at the feed store. It's been my little quarantine buddy, but I'm beginning to fear it might be a cockerel... I already have four roosters so this would be a very, very unpleasant surprise. It's only five weeks old, but it stands very upright and is really jumpy. What do you guys think?

Luv your chicken,,,,,, but do suspect that it may be a roo.
I have Polish hens, and their hairdoo is of the bushier style. The dred, punk rock like yours, kind of indicates a male.

It's a little difficult to tell the sex for sure now. Post some pics at 3 weeks.
