Polish hen or rooster?

[Ferrusivicible]

Hi all, I have a polish chick, about 9 weeks old, and It has a large wattle, I’m hoping it’s a hen, but I’m not sure. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I *think* that's a hen. Polish hens usually have more of an "afro" crest while the roos have more of a "slicked back" hair 'do!

that is definitely a pullet. its crest is so rounded. some female polish chickens still have large wattles.

Awesome! Thank you guys!

I am sorry, but that is 1000% a cockerel. A pullet would never have wattles that large at this age

You were so right, he just started crowing.
