Question regarding gender

[ersilya2429]

I just started keeping chickens this year and so far it had been a great experience. I recently purchased two polish hens but I'm not sure if one is a hen or not. She's got spurs over an inch long. I know hens can grow spurs but I'm not sure how common it is. She's also never laid an egg and the other one is laying almost daily. However, I've not heard crowing. Is it possible she's just an older hen? Either way is fine. I'm simply curious.

Looks like a pullet to me - nicely styled headdress (males are a bit more wild and crazy - think Kramer from Seinfeld), rounded saddle feathers and rounded hackle feathers.

Looks female to me. Love the blue with the white tophat!

Looks like a hen! She may have been put off laying by the move.

Thank you so much everyone. She's starting to settle in very nicely with my other ladies now. She's such a sweetheart her name is Louise instead of Louis. Hehe
