Please Help Identify My Peep :)

[Syrain]

Hi guys!

I picked up six bantams from TSC just a few days ago. Five of the six I've identified, but this little one--who happens to be my favorite and whom I am hoping is a little girl--is throwing me a little. My experience is in cochins and silkies, so I've never seen anything like this little one.




Thank you!

It is probably a breed that has a tuft on its head. Polish?

I'm not sure; s/he also has cute cheek puffs too. I tried to get a decent picture, but it's hard to do with my phone.

Bearded Polish. Looks like a Golden Laced. They are so cute as chicks.

Gold laced beareded polish gets my vote.

My profile is of my silver laced bearded polish as a chick.

ETA: bearded

That does seem to fit the little bean! Thanks everyone!

Another question. Around what age will the sex be apparent in this baby, since it seems like the roos of the breed have very small combs?

With my SLBP and my polish crosses, the feather trick worked. My profile pic is of a cockerel at about day 4.

Given that this little one's a bit older, how accurate would feather sexing be since it's out of the recommended time frame?

Wait till the tail feathers come through if there is a long tail compared to other chicks it is most likely a hen. This trick works for me. If there is a stump or hardly no tale that usually means a rooster. Hope this helps.
