Looking for some opinions on my polish and Sussex if there roosters or hens

The speckled Sussex posted are cockerels. How old are the Polish? At this point they look like pullets to me.

There almost 3 months now

The Sussex is/are males.

There is one silver laced Polish, but I think it will take a bit more time.

There are two Houdans-- at least one of them is for certain a Houdan, because it has a fifth toe, and I suspect the one behind it is, too. I think these are females.

I agree about them being mottled birds being Houdans (specifically the one where toes are visible) and the Sussex being males. I however see the Polish as a cockerel as well as the front Houdan. I suspect the back one is a pullet but I need better pictures

What about the SS's toes says cockerel to you? Or did you mean the Houdan?

Let me edit for clarity. I mean toe count for Houdans. I’m not sexing by toes

Thanks, I feel better. I thought this was another case of everybody knowing something I didn't!

Not necessarily. Females can have the green sheen, too. Males tend to get it more brightly in the sickle feathers, which have not developed yet if one of the Houdans is a male.
