Could you guys post some polish mix breed pictures

I'm waiting for the first eggs from my Polish crosses. This one is SL roo x marans hen:
:)
Pretty hen.
I have 3 Polish cross babies right now, about 3-4 months old. One is a barred mom, Polish dad. 99% positive it is a cockerel, as he has the curved sickle/saddle feathers. Cute little guy.
His siblings... I can't tell yet. I am hoping for hens, but I think I am outta luck and they are both cockerels. *I think* they are out of one or 2 of my EE type hens. I didn't separate for specific mothers, I only made sure to not use the pure Polish eggs, as I would like to breed the Polish out as much as I can.
They both look like little black Roadrunners. They don't have huge wattles or combs yet compared their BR-Pole cockerel brother, and no male feathers at all that I can tell. But I didn't know how much the non-comb/wattle-ness of the EE moms influenced that. Their tails stick up far, which is what confuses me. But yours does as well. All 3 have little head floofs, but the cockerel seems to have the biggest.
 
I have three more cross hens, one is black and two are black/blue. I'll try to catch them with the camera.

And this is the roo that we ended up with. SL Polish roo x Egger hen. He hatched in May:

 
Here are the two gray hens. SL roo, Egger hen:


My egger hen babies have much bigger tails, I think... urgh.. bet that means they are cockerels.
I will go out and get some pictures of them in a bit. They were born in early August, so I would think plenty big enough to be able to tell, right? Your EE Polish roo doesn't look super roostery in the tail.
 
I can give you my best guess.

He's molting. Most of his tail is laying in the run. Poor guy, it isn't helping him impress his ladies. He dances, they ignore him.

I'm not sure who mom is but dad is a silkie.
