Just wanna make sure this is def. a female not rooster!!

Oh god I rehomed the other one so I really hope not. I had A unanimous vote for hen with everyone I asked. If it is a boy that SUCKS. I can’t keep boys. And I will only have 1 then.

No crow but I don’t know if she laid I have so many different birds.

hmmmmm....hold your horses. I'm not so sure that's a pullet at all. Those wattles are big and red. And the comb although rounded is unruly. Tail is long and looks slightly arched, though sickles are nice and round. I take it hasn't laid or crowed yet?

My polish hens have very small pale wattles. See for comparison:

I still think it is a pullet --- the males have very messy crests compared to the females. I would expect that some birds could have more wattles than others.

The slightly different hair shape and larger wattles were what I was concerned about too.

while you are out there, take some of the tail from the side while it stands up.

You could put her in a pen by herself for a few days and see--eggs are really good proof of gender!

Or you could have a look at her vent (hole where the eggs come out.)
A male or a non-laying female has a small, puckered looking vent.
A female that's laying has a vent that's larger, moister, and looks like it could stretch big enough for an egg to come out.

Easiest way to see the differences is to just start looking at chickens that you know are not laying (males, partly grown chicks, broodies), then at ones that probably are laying. But if you don't know for sure about any of them--just look at every chicken you've got. Once you've found both versions, the difference tends to be pretty clear.

She's a beautiful pullet, and she has wattles not waffles.

I think it says wattles?

I edited it right before they put that so they just saw the mistake lol.
I do know the word it just autocorrected.

Lol, ok.

 

[Rbrown369]

WATTLES !! Lol. I screwed it up twice.

I mean never mind I’ll just pretend I meant she just waddles around “bigger”. Like a duck.

That'll work.
