Polish sexing

[wickedhens]

I have this 12 week old polish and I have found they are about as hard to sex as my silkies! I thought pullet at first but am still doubting because of the random crazy hairs on the head

Crest is pullety, but the wattle growth and feathering make me say cockerel.

That's what I thought too lol lord knows I don't need anymore Roos :/ I love Roos I wish they weren't so hard on my girls

Sorry, here is a pic of both my boy and girl for comparison,

Boy

Girl

Yours is young so it does resemble my pullet more than my roo now that I'm looking at them!

I'm guessing that polish roos get saddle feathers like other roos, I will need to go out tomorrow morning and check her or him out. This is my 1st polish just wanted a hen for yard art I will be so sad if its a roo

Yes they do, you can sorta see where mine are growing in pretty nicely!

Yep I see them in the picture now that I am looking more closely =)
