Is my chicken a hen or rooster? It is 10.5 weeks old.

I'd say pullet for now, I think one of your Polish is a cockerel though.

Here are more pics of the polish. How can you tell on them?

Girl Polish have round head poofs like a 1960's hairdo. Boy Polish have punk rocker pools. Can you get pictures of their faces? I think they both might be boys.

Yep, I would agree that I would lean for the Polish to be boys...maybe even see some saddle feathers coming in?! (maybe) Orpington i would also say female as of now

The orp is a cockerel

I think the Orp is a pullet. From what I have seen, male Lavender Orps get big, colorful combs early. That doesn't seem to be the case with all Orp varieties.

The Polish, hmmm. The crest feathers don't look pointed to me. Those feathers will molt out before adulthood and be silver laced with black instead of black laced with silver, and then it will be more clear. For now I think there is a good chance they could be pullets.
