Roo? Pullet?

[Lawrence Lovestock]

I posted this baby chick a while ago but I wanted to post a recent photo. The breeder is insisting this is a hen. When s/he was younger everyone commented that a/he is a Roo. So I’m reaching out again to see what you all think/know.

How old? Looks like it may be a roo...do you have side pics?

 

[MysteryChicken]

Yes, side profile pictures will be helpful?

How old is the bird? Crest looks feminine, but a profile shot is needed.

I was going to say that crest looks masculine? Maybe I'm just off my game today. I haven't been doing great with sexing.

It is a little unkempt, but rounder than cockerels generally are. Just an opinion.

I was going to say pretty neat but male because when I've seen polish hens the feather tend to go back, instead of kind of parting then going down.

Pullet in my opinion.
