Please not male sickles! Frizzle polish silkie cross

[JedJackson]

10 weeks is too early for male feathering. The comb is large-ish but not enough to say it's definitely a cockerel.

I think you just have to wait. Sorry.

that is giving me hope, lol!

Polish feather up fast. I've got some chicks 3 weeks older and the male just started getting his male feathers about this age and they are obvious now at 13 weeks.

Silkies are tough because the combs are dark, so you're not going to see redness. Bearded birds don't show much in the way of wattles, either. So lots of times it can take a long while to tell.

Yep, and it takes silkies a while to grow their combs, and a polish comb is flat apart from the horns. Cross breeds are so difficult to sex!!!
