Gender guesses on 10 wk SL polish?

[Bizichick]

This little chickie has no name. Only because I have no idea if it is a roo or a pullet. Its feathers seem to be mostly rounded, but with a few spikey in the middle. The top hat not as rounded as my WCB, but not as wild as my BL that I think is a roo. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

roo

Thats what I was afraid of!

I secound the roo.

I was thinking a roo too....

I was thinking because of the crest....but just wondering what you saw that made you think roo. Everyone talks about the saddle or hackle feathers, but not sure if I understand exactly what those are.

I was thinking it looked like my hen. She was quite strange looking (half spikes on the crest) and stood a lot taller than the others. She is a hen though and has started laying.
*fingers crossed* for you!


This is my roo at about 12 weeks

the feathers in the crest are pointed and thinner than a hens and the iridescent feathers coming in the tail

Yeah i think roo, this is my polish at 12 weeks and i know that she is a pullet, because she has a much rounder crest.

Thanks everyone for the input....thanks for the ray of hope though KrazyCricket! I will give him a few more weeks just to be 100%, then he will have to find a new home.

That will be 2 out of 3 Polish that turned out to be roos. This Polish thing is way too stressful! lol
