Polish baby male or female?

[L1sa]

It's the same baby in all 3 pics and 1 day old. I've looked up pics online about male and female puffs on the top of their head! But still can't really tell. Anyone like to hazard a guess? TIA

Much, much, much too young to sex. Polish can be almost as difficult to sex as silkies.

Agreed, much too young. I know you said you read online that females have a rounder poof while males do not. Can I have the link to the site you saw? I'm pretty sure it is the same one that I saw, and I will tell you for a FACT that it is not right. I have a female golden laced polish hen, and her head "poof" was not round at all, instead, it matched what they said the "males" were like. Unfortunately, you're just going to have to wait (a hard game, I know! I hated waiting to know if mine was female or not!)

Here's where I read about it.

How long do polish chickens live?

I don't actually know, this is my first one. I'm guessing an average 5-10 years.
