1 Day Old Polish + Frizzle Feather/Crest Sexing

[merc]

I have poured over feather and polish crest sexing pictures online and am pretty sure I have all pullets. I am totally laughing at myself because there is no way this is possible. I have the worst luck! Here is the crest guide I used. Here is one of the many feather sexing articles I referenced. These were all taken within 24 hours of hatch. Let me know what you think and why! Your input is greatly appreciated!

Frizzle:

• Primary (bottom row) longer than covert (top) feathers, but not by much.

Polish #1: White crested black?

• Primary (bottom row) longer than covert (top) feathers.
  
• Really round crest

Polish #2: Silver laced polish?

• Primary (bottom row) longer than covert (top) feathers.
  
• Round not oval crest

Polish #3: White crested blue?

• Primary (bottom row) longer than covert (top) feathers.
  
• Really round crest

Actually, this method, (wing sexing) only works for hybrids that have specifically been bred for that to work. Please post pics of your frizzles combs at six weeks, and your polish rest and comb at eight weeks.

I’m afraid this does not work for polish chickens. If it did I could have saved my self a fortune on feeding polish cockerels

Please do repost some pics in a few weeks time

I'm pretty sure the first pic in the second set is a cockerel. Hard to say for sure, but last 4 pics look like it might be a pullet.

I think that the the last one is most likely a white crested black polish
