I have to talk POLISH!

It is looking awfully roo-like to me. Those red wattles are awfully big for a 9 week old girl.

Definitely a boy.

1) Hackle Feathers -pointy, thin
2) Saddle Feathers - pointy, thin and getting long
3) Crest spiky and pushed back.
4) Shiny feathers on back cape
5) Waddles, too big and red for 9 week old.

Girls have round, bufont crests, boys have spiky rock star crests. The crest are the first give away when they are 6-8 weeks.

I believe I've posted some pics of my girls/boys but Ive been thinking of making a breeding pen for them. How have you all set yours up? I've got 2 boys-girls. One of my girls is bearded. They are pet quality, maybe one day I will get some show quality.

Ist photo, the chick is about 2-3 weeks old. The second photo is a different chick. Not sure of the age....It now has lots more crest feathers. Will try to get photo tomorrow.

OK, so here is a picture from today. Male or female??



What do I look for to determine sex in Polish? Should this chick's crest have more of a rounded feather to be female or does it change as she gets older?

Looks like a rooster to me, but they can surprise you! Frizzle!!! Yeah!!
Pay attention to the hackle feathers as they grow out along with the crest. Are you hoping for a rooster or hen?
