Hi. Does anyone know if this is a Polish hen or roo? We were told a hen when we bought he/she as a chick. But we saw "Sally" crowing yesterday so now I'm confused.

Cockerel. One thing about polish - the roos usually have rock star wild crest with streamers. Pullets usually have a nice full bushy crest ( like the old bouffant hairdo from the '70s)

Those long, thin feathers near the base of the tail are something only males grow.

My 14 year old has been saying he thought we had a rooster because of the tail feathers. I guess he knows what he is talking about!
 
Yes he does have some wild rooster tail feathers, but I was referring to the feathers on his back that hang down near the tail.
