Any guesses about my 3 week old polish chicks?

[Danielle27]

I got these two cuties from my local feed store. 95% should have been pullets.

This is chick # 1. He/she has a mop head and shorter tail feathers than the other chick. The first day home this chick(#1) repeatably attacked the other chick(#2). It would not stop, even when I put my hand in the way to block it.Thankfully it only lasted the first day. Now chick #1 is very protective of the chick #2. He/she is now the friendliest and will jump on my arm.

Chick #2 is on the shy timid side. He/she is smaller than chick #1 and not aggressive like #2 was at first. She also lowers her body more so than #1( maybe because #1 dominated her the first day?).

Any ways, any guesses will be appreciated. Thanks!

It's a little early to know, but if I had to guess chick 1=pullet chick 2= roo, BUT this could very easliy change. Some will keep you guessing for a while.

Based on physical characteristics that's what I was thinking too. I really was hoping we could tell. Their crests and tail feathers are so different from one another. If it helps at all, #1 started feathering much faster than #2, especially on the crest.

I am in this same boat now. All of mine are showing black pin feathers at the front. Some of them have short smooth white feathers on the back of the head, (hope these are pullets), while a couple of them have some black pin feathers scattered among the fuzz on the back of the head. They are 1 day short of being 3 wks. What are some thoughts on these?

I have 3 polish that are 4 weeks old. We wanted 2 roo’s and one pullet, but we knew how to send them as day olds. I can show you what my roo’s look like at 4 weeks compared to my pullet. My all white one, and my blue one are roo’s. My pullet is black and white with a white crest. I’ll post the pics. It’s not letting me post them in the order I said. I posted 2 pics of the female to make sure you knew which one she was. (The 2 middle pics)
