What gender is this Golden Polish?

appalachianfeet · Jun 6, 2011

I posted some photos of our Golden Polish chicken on my blog today. Is it possible to tell the gender yet? I've found a home for it if it's a hen (so much easier!) but not if it's a rooster:

I've added some more photos to my blog post based on the recommendations in the FAQ.

You got a pretty Pullet there!

Hey, do y'all mind telling me why you think it is a pullet? I'd like to get good at identifying them, too!

I tell by the poof, if its all crazy its usually a boy. If it sits on its head like yours its a hen

Thanks! I haven't seen other Golden Polish chicks before so I wasn't sure if there was a difference in the plumage.

Pullets come in with nice rounded feathers and crest.
