So my polish is looking like a roo to me... but acts like a pullet. Curtsey comes up to me, let's me pet, and doesn't mind being held. But those tail feathers and top hat got me taking a double glance. Are roos lovable? I have bad luck getting roos among sexed chicks and the ones I have raised into crowdom have been dogdy and more regal acting lol. Walking around tall. Curtsey doesnt really do that much. Which leads me to my olive egger. Sam I Am. This one acts like a roo. Won't let me pet. I don't know what specific breed Sam I Am is. My Easter egger wound up being a roo with similar features and mannerisms minus the mohawk. These two I think are about 12 weeks old. Maybe a little older. Do you think you can tell what sex they are? No crows yet.
Thanks for your input!

Your polish is a male. Males have KISS member hair, females have Mary Tyler more. Plus his male specific hackles and big red wattles.
Your o.e looks to be a pullet.

I agree.

Polish roosters are variable in temperament. You won't really know his personality until he's grown up. But often Polish are good roosters.

I'm going to hate to give him up. He's my sweetest chicken by far. 😭
