New to this breed. Mottled Houdan. Does this look like a pullet or cockerel? About 10 weeks old. Soooo friendly and GRUMPY looking, I love it! We thought it was a boy, but it seems a little too rounded, if they are similar to polish?

Ha! I'm in the same boat with the same exact breed with a chicken that looks exactly the same. When i research them, I find some that look like a mottled polish (hen) and then some that look much different but also claimed as a hen. SoNew to this breed. Mottled Houdan.

Comb is iffy. Pink tone in face, maybe. Use same technique as with polish: it is wearing a pincushion or a cotton ball on its head?I have never sexed these before but I’m thinking boy. Can you push the feathers in the spot I circled back because I am pretty sure I see a comb.
Stunning bird!Houdans get the same sort of hairdo as Polish: Einstein vs Bouffant.
They also have a long, almost lanky frameView attachment 3508293My roos (idiot dingalings that they were) kept after her. Wyandotte and rock with her (crest trimmed around eyes so she can see and the others don't attack her for being "blind" and endangering the flock)
