Here this cutie is! It's name is Marvin(stage name: Tina Turner)

We have gone back and forth on this baby it's whole life! So here we are 17 weeks... roo or pullet?

Rooster. The comb/wattles wouldn't be that red until 6 months on a girl, and it's saddle feathers are just too sharp to be a pullet.

Roo.

What type of polish is that, anyway? It's pretty.

Looks like a Boy. Expect to hear crowing soon

It just started getting pink tiny wattles this week, same as my other two obvious hens (not polish) we are suspecting roo, but it just doesn't act like one lol

I got it from a feed store but my guess is a gold lace/buff mix

Well maybe the wattles are fine, but the saddle feathers hang off of the chicken too much, where a pullet's would go up the tail. They are also way too pointy and thin.

I agree. The only reason I still questioned it was by looking at pics gold laced pullets and roos. It's tail and saddle feathers are much more rounded and the way it walks. It has the more flat look rather than a standing look

Either way I'm cool with it cause we love our chicks and have lots of room

With polish, there is an indicator in the crest too. I don't know that one as much so look it up

But how many hens/pullets do you have? and how many roos?
