Buff polish cockerel?

15 week old "guaranteed" hen, no crowing, but I'm
Thinking they were wrong and my she is actually a he! I'm including head shots and shots of any possible rear saddle feathers....Thoughts? Also- he started sitting back on his legs a couple of days ago- thoughts on that?

That looks like squating of a pullet at the point of lay. that is what they do for the rooster to mount them. I say pullet.

Definitely a roo. He has saddle feathers coming in on his back and his head feathers indicate a male polish.

Yeah, I was 99% sure he was a "he". We have two other Roos and am not sure now what we'"" do with him. I do prefer how he looks to a hen so we'll see- 'aybe our friend with Wilkie hens can borrow him for a bit haha! The squatting he is doing is not the same as a hen submissive squat, he's able to walk- slightly stiff legged, but he's actually laying flat back on his legs, I was unable to get a very clear picture, but he just kind of lays his legs flat and lays back on them like in the picture. I'm slightly concerned.
