Rooster or Hen?

[Kathryn1877]

2 month old white created black polish

Ever since I got rid of my rooster she has been trying to crow although it doesn't sound very much like a rooster yet.... Could she be a rooster?

I don't know polish but, it's possible. Young roos generally won't crow in the presence of an alpha roo. So now is the big chance to come out of hiding and be a cockerel..

Can you get a closer pic of the saddle feather. Are you sure on the age? Only 8 weeks? Looks older to me.

If ti's only 2 months, with that much wattles I say rooster.

But I agree it looks older than that, and the head dress says female.

I agree. Polish roosters have longer, more flowing crests. Hens have a fluffier muff, like hers.

pullet,the legs are to small crest is got the female thing going on and no saddle feathers,but your 2 month old is not a 2 month old by the way her wattles look she about 4-5 month old and maybe older and her crest wouldn't be developed as well
