Perhaps you should send the bodies to your state vet and have them do a Necropsy to find out what is going on. Here is the link to the state vet in TN.
I have Polish and Silkies. Everyone says how sweet Silkies are, but one of my Polish and my Phoenix hens are the sweetest. They are best friends since they were 2 days old- they always stick together. Whenever we are building pens and stuff, they have to "help".None of my Silkies are lovey dovey! But, I also have a Polish roo that is the meanest chicken that I've ever had!
I have a Tolbunt Roo who is downright vicious. He's in a run and slams into the side of the run every time I pass by. He's trying to get out to kill me. He's so beautiful, but I honestly can't wait until I grow one up enough to replace him. He's also mean to his hens, which is inexcusable.
On a happy note, here's one of my brooders full of Bantam Polish chicks.

From my limited experience just reading polish sexing it looks like your first is a boy and the second is a girl based on the crest. Of course I could be completely wrong! lol
Here's our white crested black polish roo, Elvis. He was given to us because the other chickens were eating his head. Poor guy, even the quills were gone. He's growing back nicely now though. He's a lonely guy at the moment. We've got 4 baby polish, crossing my fingers at least two are girls for him!
