Polish 13 weeks

[mewbzz]

So Im struggling with sexing my polish chicken. 13 weeks and saddle feathers so I assume roo, although I know polish hens can have saddle feathers too. What confuses me is that the comb and wattle areas are still completely yellow. Two questions- can roos have yellow combs this late? From pics and description, roo or hen? (I cut some feathers on the head, so it looks a bit strange)

Your polish is male. Female polish chickens develop a much more orderly/round crown of feathers that's not so shaggy.

I think it is a cockerel, too. It has very good lacing for a silver Polish.

I noticed that all the polish that went blind ended up being females, while the males never went blind. So helmet-like round crest that covers the eyes = females, sayan like crest that leaves the eyes free from obstruction = males

The Polish is a female

A few different opinions on the gender here, would you @mewbzz mind writing an update what your Polish turned out to be please? (Have three 8week olds myself and try to figure out their genders)

Thank you,
Julie

If you make a thread and/or post pictures of your chickens I'm sure you'll get an answer : )
