This is Zipper, we think he's a rooster. Barred Rock. He is much lighter than Coffee. His tail is gorgeous. Kinda resembles a turkey tail with all the white bars on the edges in a beautiful pattern. His wattle has turned red sooner than our other Barred Rock Coffee.

Not sure on this one, could still be a girl. Time will tell.

Welcome to BYC. They are too young to tell gender. I believe barred rocks would be showing their barring by now.

This is Apple. A Buff Orpington. This is our biggest chicken, his/her feathers came in the fastest. I'm thinking a hen. His/her wattle is beginning to turn pink, but doesn't stand out much. Is this a hen???

This is Bonsai, a Silver Polish. Not sure if it's crested or not. Rocks a crazy doo on his/her head. No idea if hen or rooster. Fastest chicken we have, knows how to sneak a snack and run for it. Any idea if this is a mohawk or a bob/ hen or rooster?

You have a white crested black there :) All polish should be crested as yours is. Not sure on gender as too early to tell but with an untidy crest like yours has could be male.

Thank you! I've not been sure what type of polish this is. :) Bonsai did have 2 occasions where her/his feathers were pulled out. Both times healed, but I'm watching them for sure. The crest may have been fuller and more even if a spot wasn't missing. May just rehome Bonsai if needs be. Hate to do that as he/she is one of our favorites. My older daughter picked Bonsai out.

That top knot is just too hard for others to resist. I hope you can separate him (her?) and set up a separate flock for the little guy.

I have decided to rehome the chickens. The lady who will get them is going to add 4 polish chicks to the flock and give them their own enclosure if needs be. :) Thank you guys for the help.
