Seriously cute bird.

Thank you for the updates. I wanted to know if you can tell me how you know its a pullet? I'm learning as I go along. I thought those were hackle feathers coming down the sides of her by the tail??? Is she a specific splash polish? I can't find any phots that look like her.

That should read "I can't find any photo's that look like her".

The saddle feathers on a cockerel are shiny and pointed. The crest would also be more like "crazy hair" than a pouf.

Hackle feathers are the pointy roo feathers that grow on their necks. Saddle feathers are the long pointy, shiny ones that grow on their backs and sickle feathers are the long shiny curly ones that grow in a roos tail. Here is a link to a page showing a roo and his different feather types/locations. http://www.extension.org/pages/6535...-small-or-backyard-flocks:-chicken#.UyzKB_ldW Hope it helps

Here is a link to a Polish Splash thread on BackYard Chickens https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/polish-splash-polish Your bird is definitely a Polish Splash.
