I have 9 Polish and this one is the only with waddles, does anyone know if it might be a male? They are 7 weeks old.
 
Some of the Polish Pullets have waddles. I say Pullet. She has a rounded crest. The Roo's have more pointy crest.
 
7 weeks is pretty early for such huge wattles if it's a pullet. What kind of tail feathers does it have? My wcb Polish rooster got green/black glossy tail feathers shortly after he sprouted fast growing red wattles.
 
my polish roo is about that age

here he is

mine has red wattles about that size but his crest is like a mop compared to a hens rounded crest. both hen and roo have long tails but roos roos have pointy ones
my guess is roo because those wattles look very unnatural for that to be a pullet there are some roos with rounded crests im pretty sure though... again it could be a girly not sure this is a hard one... lift up the crest and check to see if the V comb is reddish, if so it is probably a roo the hens are very small and yellowish.
hope this helps, bay
