I need a little help, do I have hens or cockerels? They are suppose to be about 12 weeks old. Thank you

The Wyandotte is a rooster. The polish are harder to tell for sure. I think the smooth is a pullet, but the frizzle is developing wattles so I'm guessing rooster on that one but I'm not certain.

If the two polish are about the same age, one of the differentiators is leg and foot size... without seeing them side by side, it's not as easy to tell, but if one has much skinnier legs and shorter feet, that's a pretty good indicator.

The silver lace did just crow

They look gold laced to me not tolbunt.

Not 100% but the farm I got them from said that they were tolbunts -a smooth and a frizzle

Tolbunts would have white also - no lacing

The farm was wrong unfortunately.

I think you need to buy your birds elsewhere.
