Assorted Crested

[saritamae]

I got the "assorted crested mix" at the feedstore. Now that they are really feathering out, does anyone have any idea what I have, what sex, and how old they might be? I got 5 for the price of 3 because they just weren't selling there and I thought they would be fun to have walking around the yard. They are mostly feathered in and are about the size of my 3/4 week BR chicks, so I'm assuming they are banties (I got them a couple of weeks before the last batch of BR)? The first picture is the one I suspect the most of being a roo, based on his/her sassy personality and the way it acts when they are outside. The rest of them I am totally clueless about.

Is it possible the one in the last picture standing up over the white one in the bottom left corner could be a Mottled Houdan? I'm not an expert on crested breeds by any means, haha

After looking at pictures of Mottled Houdans, I'm really hoping that this is what she turns out to be! They are beautiful. I don't know anything about crested breeds at all, so you're doing better than me, lol.

Hmm.... Your little roo could be a White crested black polish, looks like you have another one like him too... The gray fluffy standing tall in the bottom picture could be a silver laced polish... You gotta post pics of them growing up xD I wanna see if my guesses are right xP and the white one... Polish also? Unless s/he has feathered legs. Then Sultan. I don't think there are a whole lot of crested breeds, a lot of colors though. All I know is Sultans, Polish, and Houdans

white crested black



the one standing towards the top right is a white crested blue, the one that has white and black feathers looks like a sliver laced. houdans have 5 toes and normally as chicks are black on top and white on their belly/chest

Here are updated pictures, I swear they look different every single day!





This is the same chick in the above & below photos. I love her coloring and personality, but she is noticeably smaller than the others.
