Rooster or Hen

[1ADAM12]

So i have a series of photos to share. We hatched our own eggs 5 polish that we got from a friend. Two Black Australorpe Sussex mix, and two Americauna Sussex mix. Pretty sure I know the roosters but curious as to what you all think? Roosters free to good home if anyone is interested lol I live in Tioga PA.

Hen's feathers grow faster than rooster's.

They are cute but too young to sex reliably.

Can polish be sexed by the shape of their head? Heard roosters are more narrow and hens are more round.

They can as tiny chicks, I think, at least by breeders. Once they get a bit older I'm not sure that it works. It's worth a try but I wouldn't get rid of any until you were pretty sure.

We will definitely keep all of them until we are sure. I doubt we will have a problem getting rid of the Polish!
