can anyone tell the diff from a polish hen to a rooster

Roosters or hens?

Hi &

All your pics look like males. How old are your birds?

They’re 6 months old. I didn’t think they were roosters since we bought 6 hens and they all look alike.

I’m afraid all your birds are showing Male traits. Untidy large crest, tail feathers and large wattle development.
Female white crested black have a more rounded, tidy crest and smaller wattles.

When you bought them were you told they were hens? How long have you had them?

Yep we were told we were buying hens. We got them this past spring.

Alright so I added 2 more girls to our flock and this beautiful boy but I'm not sure his age the previous people just took him in for other people cause he was getting picked on. We only took him cause the guy said having a rooster would make our girls want to lay eggs and that since he's so tiny he probably won't crow as loud hopefully!!! We live in the city. He's really shy when we saw him he was hiding under the strawbin. So how old do you think he is? No comb or wattlrs have showed up

Here is a picture of our Polish Pullet, she is about 2 years old. One of our sweetest hens and very nurturing with the younger chicks.

He is bearded... if this is correct then no wattles should be present and sometimes a comb isn’t present like on two of my polish... it’s hard to tell is he crowing yet?

I honestly think my little serama rooster crows the loudest and he’s the size of a can...
