Polish Chicks Gender question?

[ra]

Is there an easy way to tell the gender of bantam polish chicks? Or do I just wait till one crows?

Any info would be great!!I have never had any and just had some hatch out!
God Bless

I don't know about chicks, but when they get their headcrests in, the males should have a funky "hairdo" that goes all over the place while the hens have a neat, sleek "hairdo". This isn't noticeable until they get all of their headfeathers in, though.



(I can't believe I just said that chickens have hairdos

)

yes, they do
and you can look at their beak, the roos tend to have a more bumpy beak close to where the comb will be
and you can check for waddles
