Hi guys, I’ve had some chicken before, now decided to hatch some in the incubator, got some eggs from ebay,and 21 days later had 3 chicks hatch. One is serama and is a cockerel (he’ll be so handsome, cant wait to see him in his all beauty), and 2 are Polish. Or i think they are - apparently guy who sold me eggs has a mixed flock of Polish and Silkies, some Polish are frizzle. So now i think i’ve got a pure Polish and maybe a pure Polish frizzle? Or is there such thing as Silkied Polish frizzle? As this chicks feathers are not only curling but they seem to be of a different structure entirely… sorry if its a silly question…

And so lets have a guess - boys or girls?
Just in case - white one was plucked a bit by the other one, but the feathers are growing back now.

I feel like the light one is a cockerel. Its hair and its face kind of look like one but ive never owned this breed so i cant be 100% sure. But they are both super cute!
 
It's still a little early to tell, I think, but my gut says the black and white one is a pullet because of the crest shape, it looks just like my Polish.
 
Thank you! I have a feeling they are both girls, they are very naughty, honestly never had naughtier chickens. And these are only 6 weeks, what will they be like as adults 😂 when we have a sunny day i take them outside, just to start getting know the world, and they see my adult chikens in a run, their little serama brother (1 day younger than them) is already doing that cockerel wing dance or courting, not sure what its called, and these two are only interested to do something mischievious 🤪
I will update you soon 👍
 
Hi all :) just a few new pics of my lithle ones, now 7 weeks old :) white one is due to have their shower, for they managed to dip the head ina poridge 😳
