Polish 6 month olds - roosters or pullets

[AishlingS]

I know number 6 is a rooster as he is crowing. They are all the same age. Black frizzle is really throwing me with the wattles?
Any guesses what they are?

The rest look like pullets to me.

These are my older ones and their top hair looks a lot neater than any of my frizzled 6month olds. Do you think the young ones might still be pullets?

I don't have frizzle polish, just the regular feathered. To me they all look like pullets. I'm basing it on comb and wattle development. The only one I might keep an eye on is the black one, but the wattle color isn't all that red, so I would guess pullet. At 6 months they should be mostly mature.

Yeah the frizzles are so hard to tell. I thought the wattles meant a boy but it’s tiny compared to the rooster. Hopefully all pullets thank you

At 6 months males will be really obvious, and I only see the one you already know about.

The black one has no male specific feathering and the wattles are a normal size for a non-bearded female Polish of that age.

The rest look to have beards, and that conceals and often eliminates wattle growth, so that is why the black one looks different.

Thank you, that helps a lot, I really thought the black one was a roosters until I looked back at the photos and the tail was just giving me pullet vibes. Do you think the other white frizzles are hens? No.4 has some wattle development while 3 has none at all

I think they are both females. It can be harder to tell with frizzles, but I am not seeing any male specific feathering on either of them.

I'd keep a special eye on #2, but still looking female for now other than your know male #6.
