Beautiful chicken! I have no idea whether is a pullet or cockerel... I would watch behaviour and look at other roosters of this breed

The bird is a little young, and a standing profile shot is better for gender I D, but based on the size and shape of the crest is will 'GUESS' pullet.

[QUOTE="WannabeFarmer5,
Thank you! This is my only Polish but I've been reviewing pictures to try and compare.

Thank you. I will try to get a standing picture later today. That's a good idea.

You have a beautiful pullet there! I've raised polish chickens for all my life and every gender guess i make is right now. Theres no doubt that its a pullet. If it was a cokerel it's crest would be much more narrow and not as circular as hers...

Thanks! I've been an outsider reading posts but today I decided to join! I've added some different breeds and they are much harder to sex. It's also my first time to get straight run chicks so I'm anxious to see what all I've got!

No problem! If you ever have any doubt just ask me. I had someone who had a polish hen that they thought had to get rid of since everyone kept saying it was a rooster, So the person came to me and asked what i thought and i said that it was 100% Hen.. A few months later they contacted me to say thanks since it turned out to be a hen after all.
