Mysterious Polish Chicken, Hen or Roo?

[Ol Grey Mare]

Look at the hackle (on the back of kneck) and saddle (on the back by the tail) feathers . Are they pointed? Pointed means its a rooster. Are they rounded? Rounded means its a hen. The muted red i see in the comb and wattles makes me think your polish is a hen. I have a buff laced polish bantum rooster myself and when he was 7 weeks old his comb and wattles were bright red. Hope this helps.

Gender differentiated feathering does not develop this early. ....they come in during the juvenile mini molts around 12-16 weeks.

I'm sorry if I'm not the best at polish sexing, but the size and redness of it's wattles looks rooster-ish to me.

I'll see if I can get some better pictures of her here in a bit once they calm down. They're all riled up from getting some Tomato worms as treats off my tomato plant

It's a cockerel. Those wattles are too red for a 7 week old pullet.

Well unless she's trying to imitate the other cockrels, Jenny is a Jimmy. Heard a sad but heartfelt attempt to crow when I went outside this morning. I appreciate everyones input. Didn't want to have to separate him with the rest of the cockrels if I didnt have to, but looks like I will be doing that today.
