I have 2 5 week old white crested splash polish babies. They're supposed to be sexed pullets, but one is giving me suspicions... She's starting to get a slight pink tinge to her face and wattles. Her poof is still growing in so that might be why it's so spiky-looking, but her sister's looks more rounded. Am i just being paranoid? I hope so, this little chick is super sweet... Here's a few pictures of her (and one of her sister for reference)

I'm just concerned because they look so different. Does that mean one is a boy and one is a girl, or that they're just maturing at different rates?
 
Took this picture today. Is the amount of color in the wattles concerning?

Looks like you might have a pair there. Very cute, though.
Still hoping that she has a chance to be a pullet, but I'm doubting.. If she ends up being a he, hopefully he's very quiet! We're not supposed to have roosters where we live, but I'm not opposed to keeping one under the radar. Loud crowing, however, is not exactly conducive to secrecy!
