can anyone tell the diff from a polish hen to a rooster

Hi guys, just wondering about some little Polish chicks we've purchased 2 weeks ago. We were told they were 10 weeks old when we got them and the lady who bred them was 90% sure they were girls. They have started doing a lot of bouncing and fighting this week so we are a bit confused. Also their wattles are looking a little too red for their age.

Here are the candidates:

Thanks in advance for any help.
It’s a little hard to tell on yours... Do they still have quills or are they always that skinny?

What does everyone think is this a boy or girl? I got 6 of them this ones hair is a little less round then the rest the hair is a little wet now from it getting in the water.
I’m thinking hen but it’s a little young to tell... Usually the pointy feathers come out later when they start loosing feathers again and will regrow long skinny pointy ones

At 9 weeks with those wattles yes I would agree but the one in the centre to the right just keep an eye on as female white crested blacks do have good wattles. Your one there doesn’t look too red right now. My WCB females also have spurs so don’t let that trick you.

Thank you I was hoping for at least one pullet!
