Hey y'all! Just curious if there's a way to sex polish chicks? I've heard the puffs on their heads but not sure I trust that but I've never tried before. I'm not very concerned either way as this is just fun guessing for me until they lay or crow. First two pics are #1, next two pics are #2, #3 is the dark one. If anyone has guesses on color #3 will be I appreciate it, it doesn't look like a silver laced to me but then again I haven't owned a silver laced polish before so maybe I'm wrong? Followed by pic of all our current chicks. last pic is our little serema just because it's so darn cute!

**This is just a makeshift box for them while I finish getting theirs set up with the feeder, waterer, lamp, etc.

I’ve hatched a fair few polish over the years and I have to say there really isn’t any fool proof way of knowing what sex they will be. I’ve had some that have kept me guessing for weeks and then I’ve had hens that crow! I’ve currently got a 9 year old gold lace hen and she crows as good as a male!

Yes I would say #3 looks to be a silver lace. Lovely little chicks you have there! :jumpy

if youre still there Vixen, the fourth one pictured, what did it look like all grown up? Just got one from a neighbor and when they tried to get it to the hen with her own, the hen bullied it. It is grey with those stripes on the wing feathers. Probably about 5 days old.
