Will this polish have a beard/muffs? And 2 week old pictures!

Not sure if it's too early too tell if my 2 week old silver laced polish will have muffs or a beard, just curious I guess!





And just a few more pictures of the chicklets. They are spending the 70+ degree days in the coop, they have an ecoglow out there if they need it as well. We will hopefully get some outside time in as well!

Decorated for fall!


My son cuddles his favorite, the barred rock (one of the friendliest chicks!)


Another very friendly one, speckled sussex named Eleanor


Checking out the ramp to the run, but not brave enough to venture out!




Should I be concerned that the barred rock has such a pronounced comb compared to all the others? Or do barred rocks just grow combs faster?

Cute pics! I don't think the polish will have muffs or a beard.

Chick fluff frequently mimics adult plumage. I think your Polish will have a beard, I also think it's a boy.

Upon further inspection he does have a beard. Sorry!

Uh oh, a roo? Well, guess hubby better get used to some crowing, because he is too cute!

Somebody on this site said that when the pompom (crest) fuzz is round in shape, the chick is a pullet, and when it is oval, the chick is a cockerel. I have found that to be true with with my Polish chicks, anyway.
