Hi everyone, I’m Noah. I have currently got 3 chickens all same age at approximately 14 weeks old and zero percent of any wattle growth unless you take a very close eye look and can see a spec of redness. All my chickens are polish breeds, however, I am concerned about 2 chickens being roosters after hearing a crow from one of my chickens at around 8:00am, and the other looking very roostery with its crazy upward hairdo and always pointed up tail! Thankfully I haven’t yet heard a crow from that chicken and hope i never will, but signs show me he is another rooster! Now onto my last chicken i am pretty certain she is a hen with a rounder and neater hairdo on the head and curved shaped feathers, but still unsure wether hen or rooster! I will upload some photos along side this paragraph, to see whether you know what gender chickens i have gotten?!

ps- sorry the photos are scrambled- i found it quite hard to place them under the text!

Yellow Chicken= I think Rooster- No crowing yet though
Black chicken with White head= I pretty sure hen- No crowing
Black chicken with a hint of white= I thought was hen up until it started crowing not long ago at 8:00

I think you have it right.

The one that crowed, and the yellow one (he's probably buff laced) are definitely males.

The white crested black looks to be a female, but I'm not 100% on it because it has a couple of shiny tail feathers. Update in a couple of weeks on that one if it isn't obvious by then.
