Here's my girls. The EE's and Polish are 6 weeks old. Biggest one, the Lavender, is 14 weeks old. SLW, not sure, she is smaller than they others, so maybe 4 or 5 weeks?

Do you experts see girls too?

Ok, first to clarify... definitely NOT an expert!! But I think you look good, except.... yes there is always an except.... the polish. Someone else should clarify shouldn'r their hair be puffy for a girl? I was always told, puffy girl, spiked = boy. But then again, he/she is young and I don't see any waddles. So, maybe it is a in between phase? My polish is only 4 weeks, so not sure.
 
I've also heard that the polish female has a round crest & pouffy while the male has a wild, spikey crest and oval shaped front to back.. Maybe just an 'old husbands tale'
 
I am not familiar with the lavender or the polish, but the rest look like pullets. The lavender I question (same bird in pic 4 and 5???) because of the posture and the comb and wattles, but since I don't know the breed I can't comment.
 
The Polish may be a roo back in they day my roos looked like that but could be wrong. Can you get more pics of the Polish? If the head feathers are more pointy and slim its a roo if there round and thicker its a hen.

Yes, same bird in pic 4 & 5. She is older than the rest. They did have one from the same hatch that was much bigger with a bigger comb and waddle that the suspected was the boy. I hope she is a girl.
