Hi, I have 5 polish chicks, around 8 weeks old each. I don't know their gender. I have posted some pics of them below. Please could I have some help on this.

1, 5 and 7 are definitely pullets. 6 may be a pullet.
2 and 4 are definite cockerels.
It may be too soon to tell on the others. The frizzle gene at this age makes it harder to tell.
They aren't roosters and hens till they are a year old. Till then, they are cockerels and pullets.

Thank you very much for your reply. It was very helpfuL Please correct me if I'm wrong. From your reply, I understand that those with the straighter head feathers are most likley pullets, and the ones with the messier head feathers are cockrels, and that it is too early to tell.

Is there anything else I would need to know? If not, thanks, again. Your reply was very helpful. Hope you have a nice day!
 
Essentially, that's it. I explain it this way. Pullets appear as though they just left the beauty salon for a coif. Cockerels look like they're having a bad hair day. The boys will eventually get those pointy hackles, saddle, wing and tail feathers but early on, the hairdo is the tell.

Great, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for that!
