Polish Cockrell? & Pullet?

[Vickischics]

It might be too soon but both Polish will be 6 weeks old this Tuesday, June 16th. I'm thinking my White Crested Polish is a pullet and my Silver Laced Crested Polish is a Cockrell. What are your thoughts?

They are a bit young yet. I see nothing currently that indicates males. The laced varieties have a different type of crest than the white crested varieties. It's more loose.

Ok, Thank you so much.
I was thinking because the Silver stands tall, loves to be held and the legs are thick.
At what age should I post again?

If males you should start to see the start of pink or red combs by 8-10 weeks.

Thank you! So far there is nothing.
I'm they are pullets because I have six pullets and really didn't want to add a cockrell. Luckily, my property doesn't have any zoning exclusion which includes my ability to raise swine if I want.

I know ..probably too early to tell. But "Polish" as he is as well as named is a big instigator with my black silkie!
Anyone able to tell if he's a cockrel?

How old? I see nothing to indicate it's a cockerel currently.

Hey we have very similar chicks! Mine are almost 5 weeks old!

Around 5 weeks...I have 3 silkies and the 1 Polish and it is very territorial, dominant and constantly bowing up and fighting with my black silkie!

Both sexes will spar at that age to establish a pecking order. Give it another few weeks.
