my friend gave me a polish hen and roo suppousedly.. he was unsure of it however, is there a way of knowing if the 2 polish i have are hens or roos? their a good size..

is there a way that their head feathers are that you can tell?

The points on the males crest feathers will be sharp, the hens will be round

Well the one I suspect to be the hen's hair isnt round, but it isnt pointy either.. it looks like a buzz cut actually.. any idea?

Could you post pictures of them? We could then try and guess what they are. Somebody is bound to know.

Depends on how old they are. I can tell my Polish boys by the time they are 2-3 months old because their waddles and comb begin to grow. By 3 months they are trying to crow.

Hi,
I have some and I can clearly tell the roosters from the hens, the roosters have the V shape comb, big waddles, and very pointy out of control feathery tops hats. The hens have smaller frames and mine have a very even and poofy top hats and no waddles at all. Mine are White Crested Black Polish and they are going on 7 months old now and laying already. Hope this helps some.

Mine are 3 months old now and the roos have long narrow feathers on their crests where the pullets have more of a bushy rounded appearance to their crests. Here are some pics.
