what gender is my polish chicken?

[kendellsheldon]

My polish chicken, Bea, was a sexed female when we bought her as a chick. shes starting to look like a roo. We didnt think so until her tail started to slightly curve down. She is also almost bigger than our full grown polish hen. She is showing signs of a comb.



the bottom pic is the most recent.
If you have any good rooster names, be sure to let me know or comment!
and tell me if she is a roo. She has never crowed.

Yep, she is a he. I generally name mine based on personality as well as appearance.... Don't know many good name suggestions, sorry! I'd probably end up naming him something like Monochrome lol...

Best wishes.

Not sure, sorry... Going to go with possible pullet for now.

This one I think might be male, if the last photo is also of this one, not sure if it's a different chicken? But if it's the same chicken, it looks like it's developing a pinkish area to the corner of its mouth, which at this age would likely mean male.

Best wishes.

You're welcome. Polish do seem like the hardest chickens to sex, sometimes!

Best wishes.
