Hoovers hatchery assortment that is supposed to carry the following Buff Laced Polish, Crevecoeur, Silver Laced Polish, Gold Laced Polish, Spitzhauben, White Crested Blue Polish and/or the White Crested Black Polish.

I believe i have buff laced polish x3 are the 3 black ones Spitzhaubens? then i think i got a golden laced polish and a white crested black polish.

I paid extra for pullets. so im hoping they are.

These are 1 month 9 days old.

The white crested black named Karen is looking like a pullet for sure 😊

It can be a challenge to tell with crested varieties. Most of yours have nice rounded crests with rounded feather tips which is how I would identify females.

The pointed feathers on the Golden laced makes me think you have at least one cockerel.

The black ones I have no idea. Time will tell, they will let you know when they crow or lay 😉

Nothing to indicate males yet. The beardless ones will be easier to tell as males will develop wattles fairly early. 😊

the buff one and one of the black ones chas off the chipmunk and birds. so kinda boy behavior. but my hens that are older chase shit like that sometimes.

That Karen has had that Q tip since like day 4. lol. she's so wild looking i love her.
 
They are all so pretty. Karen and the golden laced ones are my favorite, and I am not an expert with crested breeds but based on the shape of the feathers I would guess all are pullets except for the golden laced one. Good luck with them, they are very beautiful birds!

Try not to judge chicks and adolescents by behavior for an indication of sex. Pullets can be aggressive and chest bump each other often at an early age.
That is nothing more than establishing pecking order. Normal behavior.
