My two little white polands, I feather sexed them at about 2 days old and accordingly It appeared they were girls. But I have a hunch im in for some bad luck and they may be boys. They are about 8 weeks old now. I wonder if anyone would have their own idea. Maybe i should wait a bit longer.
Thanks for your help.

Feather sexing is only accurate on certain breeds/lines, it must be bred for. Polish can be tricky to sex, and on white birds it can be harder. You may need to give it some more time. I feel like the one on the left may be a cockerel, but I'm not certain. And the other has very red comb and wattles for eight weeks old, they may both be males. Time will tell.
 
Give it a little more time. I was afraid my golden laced were both cockerels just a few weeks ago, but turns out I have one of each.
 
Are you sure on the age? I think I see saddle feathers, but I have a really hard time being sure on white birds.
