ANOTHER Polish question

[bugglesmommy]

Pullet or cockerel? I would like some opinions. I am new to raising chickens and haven't gotten enough sexing experience to be sure.

It is hard with the Polish. For the first 9 months I had my Silver Laced Polish I was sure she was a boy. Then she started laying eggs and that settled that! Do you have any full body shots from the side? Seeing the whole body might be helpful.

 

[bugglesmommy]

Not a problem. I am also unsure what color this is. Crele?

 

[bugglesmommy]

Any educated guesses anyone?

I'm unsure of the gender, but that's a really pretty polish!

He or she is my little shoulder parrot. I just wish I knew if it was a Mr. Or Mrs.

I bet in another week you will be able to tell better, I seem to remember my little polish roos getting waddles fairly young.

So far everything looks very lady-like to me in terms of body feathers and head feathers. Males will have pointed head feathers whereas females will have rounded head feathers. It is said that young males appear to have a mohawk and young females appear to have a bouffant but my female had more of a mohawk when she was young so don't read too deep into that. My guess is that you have a little lady on your hands
