Polish and barred rock?

[biologynerd]

I am new to this and posting pics so bear with me...I would love input from you all.. I think the barred rock is a roo, lighter in color and big legs but u would love it if I was wrong. No clue on the polish. I know it's early but this may be helpful if others wanna try sexing early. Saddle feathers are rounded on polish.

I have polish and someone told me that (at the age yours are at) you should look to see how far the head feathers go back. If they go back far it is a rooster, if they don't go back very far it's a hen. I found it is usually accurate but not 100%. it gets easier once they get older. At a couple months you should be able to make a very accurate guess by looking at the head feathers. If they look clean, neat and slicked back it's a hen, while the roosters have ones that are not neat.

I am pretty sure my barred rock is a rooster... His comb is already turning pink at 2-3 weeks. I will let u guys know. You said see how far the head feathers go back, the polish head feathers I have are all different lengths, you can kinda see in the pic. If I knew a female at around 3 weeks I would have something to compare it with, but there's no pics online.

Both ended up being roosters!
