A Polish Hen or Roo?

​

Thank all of you so much for your help. Do you have any guesses on Aries, this picture is slightly clearer? They are freeranged during the day if 2 turn out to be roos will 1 have to go?

oooh this is a hard one It could be either... im ... acctually thinkin roo... though it has a round crest i see streamers and alot bigger wattles then for sure pullet

Yeah, that's a hard one.

It sounds like they have always been together, and they are at the age where they would be fighting, if they were going to. I have two Golden Campine roos that have always been together, they fight with other roos, but are best friends. The same thing happened with my New Hampshires, and Naked Necks. This will probably be the case with yours and I think you wouldn't have to let them go unless they start tearing up your hens.

ya it depends on how many hens you have with them, at least 3 or 4 per roo for best results

they all look like cockerels to me but that one could be a pullet

I believe Aries (The blue) also has 'streamers' is that what the stringy top hat feathers are?

They are not fighting as of yet, we only have 4 hens right now but are planning on getting more to give each of the boys something to do. Thanks for all of everyones help!

This is Galileo aka. Gally.
Looks to be a pullet.

This is Fibonacci. I believe she is a hen (has not started laying yet) but she does seem dominant to the others. What does everyone else think, hen or roo? Thanks! Is a Rooster
