Are these 10wk Polish pullets or Roos?

Pullet still. Maybe it’s a polish bantam?😊
We actually did suspect he might’ve been a bantam at first but the hatchery (Cackle) doesnt say the sell polish bantams so 🤷‍♀️. He did cry a lot when he was younger and would cry while looking like he was about to fall asleep. Nothing we did improved his situation. He seemed to act like a narcoleptic chicken (lol) and we werent sure he was going to make it but he pulled through! The other 5 had no issues whatsoever.

Hmm maybe just a runt then?🤨
 
Do I see a buff laced in the background??😏😏
Oh yes we also got a buff laced, two golden laced, and a silver laced polish in the same run. We’re hoping the buff and golden laced are pullets. The silver is definitely a crowing rooster.

From my understandings it can take about a year for polish hens (who do get wattles) to fully develop wattles. @LadiesAndJane might be able to help you out.
My non bearded polish developed larger wattles at about 5-6 months, right before they started laying. They had small ones prior to this. They did continue to grow some, but never got as big as a cockerels wattles.😊
Photos show a pullets wattles at 4,5 and 6 months of age.
