Just so you know your buff laced Polish is 100% male. Female buffs look like this:
I was given a Bearded Buff Laced Polish Pullet as a gift recently.... she's about 4 months old... I absolutely love her!her name is"Nu-Pelly"...I put her hair up in a pony tail a few times, so she could see.... she figures out how to get it off.... I'm going Friday to pick up another BBL pullet and a rooster, so she won't be lonely.... I went and bought a little chicken coop with a small run, just for her, because she gets picked on by the others... she's my sweety, and likes being held. Question: Does anybody trim their head feathers to help them see??
This pic is of Nu-Pelly's little house and yard (for now)... She's inside, while my curious little biddies are checking it out.
Those birds pictured are both males.

Nope, Its a cockerel. I can see where people would think its a pullet. They look like pullets sometimes as juveniles. This is a good example of how much young Polish can change. You can see in some of the pictures the bird looks female but as the bird matured you could tell it was a cockerel. White Polish and Buffs tend to fool me the most.
This is another example of a Polish that was sexed as a female but was really a male. There is a window where its hard to sex juveniles.
What age is he in the first pic?
I have four at the moment that are causing me some hassle
Have been convinced they are pullets but yesterday as I went to let my birds out I heard a crow!! Nothing looks like a roo, no one is red in the wattle department.
Non are acting like a roo. They are 7 months old now, some of the others from this batch that I hatched showed to be cockerels by 8 weeks others a little longer but I thought I had dispatched all the boys.
