Hi everyone,
New to backyard chickens and I need your help identifying the gender. Some feathers are getting thinner/longer, especially around the neck and tail. Its about 13-14 weeks old. It's also growing a few green/copper feathers. No crowing yet. Could this be a rooster?

At what age do Polish typically develop wattles? I have a dozen 13-week old assorted Polish. One buff-laced and one white-crested-black have had large bright red wattles and combs from a young age and they now have the spiky rock-star crests of roos.
