What is behavior like in relation to the other hens?
When we got our 6 chicks that were all supposed to be hens, Mrs. Peeps who then grew into Scoops our handsome bantam Cochin Rooster, began to show behavior traits that made us suspect that she was a he even before he was grown.

It doesn't act like the roosters that are in with it. But I still questioned it because polish are supposed to Be gentle. It's very calm. My. Roos jump at each other this one doesn't do that..

I believe it is a pullet, she does not have enough head crown feathers going on for her size and given her behavior. Could be wrong but that's my guess.
