    Do wattles on a polish at 12 weeks mean it is a cockerel?

    Thanks for asking, RainyPeeps. Only the suspect with the wattles turned out to be a cockerel. All 65 others are pullets as ordered. I am amazed at my good fortune. I have posted a more recent picture. He is beautiful. All are a little over 19 weeks today, so I think they it would be...

    Thanks Pault76. I am new and did not realize that. I actually looked before I posted and didn't find anything mentioning it. There is a lot of info to go through though.

    Thanks, We are having fun with it. We are only a few miles from Route 66, and have 66 chicks, so it came natural enough. A friend is working on a sign for their coop. We replace "Route" with Roost".

    Do wattles on a polish at 12 weeks mean it is a cockerel?

    Wow, I had not really thought anything of the beard. There were so many feathers there that I hadn't even noticed. Amanda, with the red wattles has more prominent saddle feathers. I have plenty of space, so I will keep them even if they are roos. I appreciate the feedback, all! I also...

    Do wattles on a polish at 12 weeks mean it is a cockerel?

    I know that this is early to distinguish between pullets and cockerels, but I have two Golden Polish that are the same age and came from the same hatchery. I am suspicious of the prominent wattles on "Amanda" in the second and third picture means she is "A Man" rather than Amanda. What do you...

    I am new to chickens. This site has been a huge help in planning the set up and selecting our girls. For as much as I have learned about chickens in the past year, I still find myself with many questions. This is a great resource for answers. I currently have 66 “pullets,” representing 20...
