Pullet or roo?

[ReadingRAEnBo]

@ReadingRAEnBo I looked at multiple things. The hackles feathers are rounded, which points to pullet. Polish roosters also have pointed feathers in their crests (or headfloofs, as I like to call them) and this bird has rounded tipped feathers in the Crest.
Here are pics of both a hen and roo of a white crested blue polish. The rooster is darker and the Crest is more sporadic, while the hen has more of a rounded shape.

So my little Moppy is probably a boy then, huh? Also, I find headfloofs to be a perfectly descriptive word.

@ReadingRAEnBo looks like a roo to me. He's the bearded type, so he'll have tiny wattles.

I couldn't remember that it was a called a crest, so my brain supplied "headfloof" and it stuck.

Post some more pictures please it looks more roo. However some hens can have a narrower crest feathers. So it can get tricky lol but leaning to a roo

Polish and silkies always made the guessing game fun and frustrating lol

This is my first time with chickens and its been a blast, but waiting to figure out pullet or cockerel is making me want to pull out my hair. Some have been obvious, like my RIRs, but the rest...sheesh. I'll try and get a couple more photos tomorrow, my babies have went to roost for the night. He/she is very dependent on the others and chirps with distress when it cannot see the others...which happens frequently given the hairdo.

I used to have a GLP, we made a her a headband to get some of the feathers away from her eyes. Man, she was stylish!!

My daughter suggested that to me, she thought it would be a great idea.

It took Gladys a while to get used to it - there was a lot of head shaking and scratching when we first put it on - but when she finally realized it wasn't going anywhere, she rocked it. Honestly one of my favorite things that I've ever done.

Polish is pullet. Age is needed on the bantam.

Thanks. I was really hoping for a pullet. Now the second one I dont think is a bantam. Although I may be mistaken. It's a phoenix. And I would be happy with male or female since the roos are gorgeous. But I just love them all. I think because of the colors it's a female. But the comb and wattle throw me off. And I think they are 2 months now. I believe I got them on the 14th or 15th of may. Lol I have all ages right now. I even have week old chicks lol.

If anyone has experience on Phoenix fenders please take a guess. Sorry these are the best pics I have so far.
