Need help with their gender.....

[Peppermint]

I am all for rooster denial...but the polish has a very roo-ish crest. I have a silver laced polish hen with a very rounded crest...no spazzy punk-rock feathers like your "spazzy".

Not sure on the Silkie. The Polish looks like a roo to me due to the way the crest is developing. I would guess all of the others are pullets.

I am hoping those of you who are saying all pullets are correct... but if the polish does end up being a boy i will probably sell him. Anyone want to buy him?

It amazed me today because in just one week the Silkie has filled out tramendously (sorry about spelling) and "she" is turing out to be one of the prettiest splash silkies i have ever seen. I have never raised Silkies from a chick before so this was a fun experience.
Truthfully i thought i would end up with all boys so i am glad most of you think they are all girls but one.
Thanks!

Polish can be hard to guess at this age - when they are a little smaller you can get a pretty good idea of gender because the males have more of a mowhawk head crest and the females more of a cotton ball. I had a hen with a head crest similar to yours which was rounded when she grew up but always a little taller than the other hens. You could see her eyes much better than the other hens. I think you should wait awhile longer before making a final call on the polish because this is the most difficult age to tell in my opinion.

Your bantam cochin and japanese bantam are both girls, no idea about the crested polish but your silkie looks like a boy to me, I have just raised 4 silkie roos and they all looked liked that one did at that age although it's still to early to tell for definate the wing feathers and the sparse crown sways in a roos favor I'm afraid.
