Polish chicken at 5 weeks--roo or hen?

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.

I'd wait a few more weeks but I suspect it's a cockerel too. @BastyPutt may be able to help.

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.

I vote boy, but it's too early to be sure.
