Hi! I have 10 eight week old polish chicks. Eight of them are silver laced and two are golden laced. I'm pretty positive on the two golden laced (thinking one male and one female) but I'm kind of lost on the others. I'm thinking I have mostly males. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Can you post pictures of said polish? Crest, back, and tail
Will do! The chickens will need a few days to dry off. It has been raining non-stop with an incoming tropical storm. I’ve attached some pictures of him that are about a week old. He is about 8 weeks old here. We’re thinking he is a cockerel since he is one of the largest of the run of 6 polish (all different colorings so a bit difficult to compare) has a slightly wild looking crest, and has been chest bumping some of the others. He was also very friendly as a young chick.

It would be awesome if this silver-laced one was a pullet. We were so sure our white crested black polish was a pullet because she has such a neat crest but then she got wattles super early and today we just heard her crow. Time to find a new name for Cruella. The crest on these can really throw you off!

The silver laced polish crowed today and he may have some pointy saddle feathers growing. Looks like we’ll have to start a rooster flock keep all of the boys :)
