Polish chicks- hen vs cockerel ?

[xrayerin]

Hi everyone!
I’m in a new chicken keeper, and I got 2 polish chicks. The lady I got them from said they’re about 8 weeks old but from other pictures I’ve seen, they seem a bit small. Anyway, I think I have a pullet and a cockerel but I’m not 100% sure. I’d like some help!
(the pictures of the body is from a couple weeks ago so it is smaller but I wanted to show the pointy tail feathers. Thats the one with the wide crest)

They look more like 5-6 weeks to me. Mine were fully feathered at 8 weeks. I do feed mine scrambled eggs daily which seems to make them feather quicker. They are too young to sex. Are they Bantam or standard?

She never mentioned if they are bantam or not. I did question the age though lol. I’ll have to start giving them scrambled eggs!

Here's where I entered one of my 8 week old polish in the calendar contest for comparison,

They’re beautiful!
Mine aren’t 8 weeks that’s for sure lol. I’ll give them eggs and see in a couple more weeks which one starts crowing! Thanks for the help!

They still look like pullets to me.

Both of them? Even though they look a little different? That’s perfect
