polish sex question

[FrizzleDizzle]

so, i know the feathers on the head let u know if a polish is a hen or roo. but, at what age can u start telling the difference?? this polish is young (not exactly sure how young). any guesses on the sex?

As you know, I am no polish expert

But is looks pretty roo-ish to me... I dont see any rounding to the crest.

I defer to the experts though...

thats what i thought, thats why i was wondering if that changes though as it gets a little older. some of the feathers look female-ish though.

i dont know anything about these birds though

FD...can you get a nice side shot? I am thinking I see saddle feathers in the back...what do you think?

 

[FrizzleDizzle]

I am so glad you asked this as I am in the same boat. My Polish are 8 weeks old and their head feathers are not the same as yours, how old is your one?

 

[FrizzleDizzle]

no clue how old. i would guess 3 to 4 months just because i have another that age and he is almost the same size.
