Polish chicks- hen vs cockerel ?

[oldhenlikesdogs]

They both have 4 toes

Than it's not a mottled houdan. All of my polish still have no sign of combs at 11 weeks and mine are all females. Yours don't have any sign of combs either, so I still think they both are female.

Hey! Me again! I’m not 100% sure but I think one might be a boy! The tail feathers and attitude are throwing me off lol when I go to pick it up, it pecks at my hand. But still loves it when I cuddle it lol. The first picture of the one I think might be a boy and the 2nd picture is the girl.

I see no comb or wattles so I still think they are both Pullets. My polish are like that too. They occasionally come running and peck at me. They are goofy birds.

I keep feeling for wattles under the beard but I don’t feel any lol. The curled tail feathers had me wondering lol. Thanks again for your help

Generally the bearded polish do not get the big wattles like the non-bearded ones.

@xrayerin, did they turn out to be both pullets? Would you mind posting pictures of how they look like now, please?

I’ve got three polish, which are currently 8weeks old and am very back and forth on the gender… They are so very hard to sex… (particularly as a first timer)

Thanks, Julie

Hi Julie!
They are both pullets! I was very lucky. It took some time to tell. I know 1 of them is laying for sure because I saw her. I haven’t witnessed the other one lay an egg but she isn’t crowing lol
I’ll take more pictures tomorrow.
