Hey! I have no idea how to even begin to sex this little one. It is 12+ weeks.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I also have a white crested blue that has feathering just like this but wouldn't let me get it's picture!

Looks like a girl to me. Post the pics on the "I have to talk Polish" thread and you can get more opinions.

I know her "do" makes the guessing hard, but you can hide the fact that at 12 wks she really doesn't have any wattles.  I say pullet

Looks like a pullet to me, too.

Thanks for all the good news. I am not sure how I managed to do it, but I am pretty sure that I pulled 2 pullets from the straight run bin. Our other one is a white crested blue and looks just like this one. Wow! I guess I do still have a little luck! Thanks again!

The white crested blue is my stepsons chicken. He will be glad to hear that it is most likely a pullet. He knew that if it turned out to be a rooster it had to go. He really loves that chicken!! My husband has even come to like the polish breed now. He wasn't a fan at the beginning. woot.gif
