Hi, I need help sexing these Appenzeller Spitzhauben, Barnevelder and white crested Polish chicks!

I bought one of each of these and a white bearded silkie that the seller guaranteed is a girl or I can bring it back for a laying female or 2x money back.

They are all 6-7 weeks old

I have a very unconventional way of choosing chicks based on behavioral traits so I'm very interested to see how accurate I have been this time. Last time I used this method I picked 3/3 hens.

Here's the Barnevelder: (its VERY skittish)

Thank you for any and all advice and speculation, my family is taking bets on what is what.

That is not Barnevelder. I think is Spits Mix and is a boy. It has small crest and V shaped comb. White Crested Polish most probably is girl. Too early to say about the Spitz, but my guess is a boy (hope I am not right, it is still early).
 
Would these additional pictures of the Spitz help? And the lady I bought the barnevelder from swore up and down it was a barnevelder bantam.

Looks girlish on those pictures, but keep eye on it. The lady got something messed up with the "Barnie".

I know this is an old thread, but it’s a Crevecoeur ☺️
