Toodles, our 5 week old Polish chicken: I am guessing male but I have very little experience. I know Polish can be hard to determine until 8 weeks perhaps, but I thought I would ask.

It looks like a boy. Both do. The head feathers go back . What about the wings, split or straight? Girls split boys are straight.

The hair is going back like a silkie male. I usually look at that and the red comb has started which is a dead giveaway. Polish and silkie roosters have that same trait in my opinion.
