I have my guess but I would like others opinions. This is my first time dealing with a straight run, so still new at this.

How old is it? I'm thinking cockerel but age could change things.

Polish are almost as difficult to sex early as silkies.

That's a cockerel. Nice looking bird, white crested whites are hard to find.

How early can you start telling on silkies?

It all depends on the bird. Sometimes roosters are obvious at an early age, and sometimes not. Some particular birds you just have to wait until they lay or crow.

At around 4 months most Silkies are sexable.
