Question on Polish Chickens

[pbennett]

We have three polish chicks. These are 5 weeks old. When can you determine what gender they are and what are things to look for? We know with the silkie in the front that we will need to wait until it crows or lays an egg to tell. Thanks for your help.

They all look like hens to me, I am this year a first time mom to two Polsih chicks. I found out that one is a rooster because he grew red waddles... right away it seemed after he lost all his baby feathers.

Its still a little early to tell but I think the silver laced and buff are pullets and the gold laced a cockeral. the silky is not pure silky but looks like a mix (doesnt have the silky feathers).

I'm not positive but I think the ones with the faster maturing crest would be the roosters.
