Were they sold sexed? I see nothing obviously male currently. Give them a few more weeks.

No they weren't we bought them at 3 weeks old. It looks like the third and the second one up close look like the boufans are curving round their face. However the third ones feathers bones on the head can be seen from the back.

Are they purebred? They look more like mottled houdans, which would have an extra toe.

I predict Roo, pullet, pullet, roo...however it could still be too early to tell the crest feathers need to grown in a bit more....perhaps another 1-2 weeks. I've had pullets that feathers took a while to take shape at first the crest looked mohawkish but then it grew curved into a bouffant which is a trait of the pullet. Mahalo

I agree the coloring looks a little different than the Polish I've seen.

I think houdans have beards. These remind me a bit like appenzeller with the smaller crests.
