One Polish and Japanese chick - please sex!

[StFreed18]

Our Japanese bantam is ~10 weeks old and our Polish chick is 6 weeks old. Both are extremely active and curious so we’re concerned they might be boys (which we’re not able to keep). Please let me know what you think!

The Japanese is a rooster. The polish is a bit young to tell yet.

Japanese is a cockerel. Polish is still a little young still but I don't see any signs that would point to cockerel myself just now.

No comment on the Polish, since I know next to nothing about the breed.

Your Japanese, however, is 100% cockerel. Precious little birds.

Japanese Cockerel

The Polish need about six more weeks since they are slow developing.

To report back, the Japanese bantam has started trying to crow. Confirmed we have a boy! I have uploaded younger photos of him incase anyone else out there would find these photos useful.

Still waiting to tell on the Polish chick. Fingers crossed we have a girl!

Our polish was a hen! Surprise by her personality given her crest inhibiting her sight - she is fearless, curious, social, top of the pecking order, and a feminist.
