Thanks Everyone... I'm trying to determine if my hen is actually a hen or a rooster so please let me know if any of you have experience with Polish hens

I look forward to learning from this community.. I've been lurking and reading the forums for over a year now!

Hello, Anna, checked your other thread, and I believe she is a pullet.

Hi Anna and welcome to BYC. If Sourland says your bird is a pullet you can be certain it is

There's a few Kiwis here on BYC. You can track them down by posting here - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/where-am-i-where-are-you.26/

We couldn't begin to tell you without photos of your bird. But you can post photos at "what breed or gender is this," and get answers.

One of my BYC buddies is from NZ, I'll give her a shout out to see if she can come over and say hello: @JaeG

Have fun with your Polish and thanks for joining us!
