I think Peepers is a pullet/hen.
Keep your fingers crossed for me. We live in a city so I am a new Backyard Chicken person. I will keep one rooster, but I would never be able to keep two. We have no legal restrictions for roosters except they cannot be an annoyance to neighbors. If too loud they need to be placed further away from the house than currently located or kept quiet in some other manner (I have heard collars are dangerous as well as annoying to the roo). We have the coop in the most secure area of our yard. I don't want to have to move it.
 
I tend to agree that Asia is a cockerel. But now I need to know if Peepers is a Cockerel. So help with this set of images. Asia is a mix. I think Asia is part Golden Cuckoo Maran and something else. Alot of gold running through the barring. Peepers is also a mix and seems to be part white crested black polish. Peepers is just now at 7.5 weeks getting small white feathers in the crown area. The white feathers are rounded so I am hoping that this means female. She had uppity tail feathers when younger, but not so much now as they are getting longer. She is lean. That is another reason I thought she was male at first. But does not have the temperament of Asia and has a higher trill call. I think the Polish breed are hard to tell sex early from what I have read. The comb is small and pinkish gray.View attachment 1468310 View attachment 1468311 View attachment 1468312
