Unfortunately I can't get any pictures to post.

I have 2 Silver Laced Polish that are about 4 months old.

From all of the pictures I have seen they appear to be female, however, this morning they were fighting each other like roosters. (jumping at each other and using their feet)

At this age should they have the more streamer like hairdos going on or be crowing yet?

Any tips on how to tell?
 
yes, they should have pointed crest feathers at four months

here is a photo of my silver laced polish cockerel at 5 weeks, next to my buff laced pullet who was also 5 weeks


you can already see his feathers getting super streamery, and shooting straight up rather that poofing out into the female's signature afro.

females sometimes do fight like roosters do. theyre at an age when theyre still establishing pecking order, so they might spar with each other.
