Early guesses? 3 week old polish sexing

Back again! Everyone is loving the coop and run - humans included šŸ˜

I got some shots of them today and Iā€™m just getting more confused haha!

They are between 7 and 8 weeks. I have labeled the pictures where the birds in question may be shot from the side or front.

Rhubarb has a confusing crest, holding out hope she is still a pullet.

Thanks!ā¤ļø

Curious what your end result is! They all look like my hens! I just hatched a few polish myself and they look very similar to yours. Iā€™m hoping for more pullets. šŸ˜…
 
@BastyPutt hi there!

I have some new photos of our Polish. They are about 10 weeks old now. We suspect Peaches, Pickles and Rhubarb could be cockerels. And Squash is staying strong as our pullet. Let me know your thoughts!

Also, everyone still seems to be getting along but when do you recommend separating or adding more pullets (depending on numbers) ?

Got some better pictures today. I was feeding them raspberries - thatā€™s why they have red on their beaks!

Peaches - darker buff laced
Squash - white pullet
Rhubarb - lighter buff laced
Pickles - white cockerel

We are now almost completely positive that we have 3 boys and 1 girl.

@JedJackson do you agree?

Hello all. I hope to get some individual shots and combine them with the chick photos as a bit of a resource.. at least for seeing 3 roosters and 1 hen develop haha.

Though we donā€™t have eggs yet, itā€™s a done deal we have:

Pickles: cockerel (mixed but mostly white)
Peaches: cockerel (dark buff laced)
Rhubarb: cockerel (light buff/laced)
Squash: cockerel (white)

While everyone is still getting along together, we have begun work on our bachelor coop for rhubarb and peaches to move into when the time comes.

Thanks for everyoneā€™s help as we got off the ground with our chicksā¤ļø
