Sexing a polish chick

[Claudinechick]

I have a six months old golden laced polish "rooster"with a very spiky crest but the weird thing is that he does not have any comb or wattles and he is quite small compared to my other six months old polish pullet. Is it possible I have a pullet with a bad looking comb or a feminine cockerel?

I would guess that both might be possibilities.

Here's some pictures of both of my chickens ( both six months old) I'm starting to think they are both hens.

The golden laced polish has small feet, is quite small and let me handle her/him super easily.

The white crested polish is larger and a little more feisty but I can still handle her easily!

Can you get a picture of the saddle feathers? The reason they have little to no wattles is the beard, it suppresses wattle growth. Polish are bred for tiny combs, which is likely why you’re not seeing them either.

Thank you for the answer! Here's some saddle feathers pictures!

The gold is a cockerel. Those long black and gold feathers near the tail are saddle feathers, in males they are long and pointy, in females they are short and round. The black one appears to be a pullet I can’t make out any pointed saddle feathers.
