I agree this one looks like an Appenzeller not a Polish! Soo pretty!

Well we were lucky twice, we have two of these. I hope they are girls so we can keep them! So far, they look like the same sex. They sure are stunning and fairly friendly too.

6-7 weeks old is kind of young to tell on Spitzhaubens. I think you might have 1 of each. One of the first signs you will see on a Spitz cockerel is the wattles getting pink. The fact that I can already see the wattles on the one at the right, at this age, makes me suspect cockerel. But wait until closer to 13 or 14 weeks.
