Polish Pullet or young Rooster???

Hello, Anna, welcome to BYC. Looks like a pullet to me.

YAY! Thank you....

looks like a pullet to me. Would be great though to see her facing forward to see if she has the full crest with no wild streamers (which would indicate cockerel)

@PolaOla I agree with others, pullet because I can't see any sickle or hackle feathers. Her crest is a bit wild looking for a girl though, but she's beautiful. It sounds like you have a lovely set up with your free ranging chickens.

Thanks! I will bear this in mind. I think they are so beautiful and I'd hate them to get lost!

This one is the only one I'm suspicious of even being a roo.. and by the looks of it she's a wee pullet getting ready to lay. They don't really wander off (unlike the campine and the wellsummers.. who go everywhere..) I've noticed my polish hens like to stick close to us by the house and they seem to be friendly with my rhode island red and one of the Araucana. All the hens do come when I call them for treats.

Yes, mine didn't wander much, until later, the one I had left, would go far and wide. But the reason they got chased off, was the young roosters were chasing them and trying to mate.
