I'm sorry the last one never internally pipped.Thanks!
8 babies are doing well.
Last one never internally pipped.
January 31st eggs are doing well and going into lockdown tomorrow.
Ok.. here is the polish that has me changing my mind on a daily basis. Sorry for the pic overload.. of course the creature would NOT let me take a pic from the front of its face.. except the screaming one. I included that to help your ears sense the screeching i endured
They all (even my wcb Esmeralda)have some iridescence to their black feathers, but the one i think is male is just so much more vibrant, you don't have to look for it, it just reflects everywhere. This one does not have the same iridescence.
The obvious male is humongous!! This one is just slightly larger than my obvious female, and no where near the size of the obvious male.
I am trying to analyze the crest, but the black feathers are soooo slow coming in, and the ones in are crusted w food and water (i swear, cleaning doesn't help w little piggies). The white feathers it does have are round, there just arent many of them. But.. i think i see some brown pointier ones about to come in (slightly blurry close up).
But if anything is obvious to you guys that i am missing, just break it to meToday im back to thinking male just based on behavior. The little girl did no screaming.. in fact this one was screaming bloody murder when i took her out of the run. Not sure if that's just random, or male behavior.
Forgot to add.. 7 weeks and 5 days old.

...so this one could get a nickname: Screamy! 
Ohhh awesome!I love all your chick pics!! Im so excited about the prospect of keeping a roo! If anyone goes broody once the new chicks are mature, I'll just let them keep whatever eggs they have and see what happens
So cute and cuddly looking!!
Looking male to me. But you know Polish are almost as tricky as Silkies to sex!Ok.. here is the polish that has me changing my mind on a daily basis.

What beautiful chicks! I love their coloring.
Yea.. i think the one thing i can say definitively is.. it looks much more like the male than the female. I'd think by now it would have some semblance of a female hairdo.. especially given they are all from the same parents.Looking male to me. But you know Polish are almost as tricky as Silkies to sex!
