You have two polish there. The smooth feathered bird is a silver lace and the black one with slight white crest is a frizzle feathered. I would estimate about 6-8 weeks of age which I'm afraid is too early to tell the sex of them. Polish are notoriously hard to sex, sometimes taking up to six months before gender can be determined.

Nice birds and good luck with them in the future.

Polish - the little frizzle is a doll. So sorry you lost others - did they all show the same symptoms?

I agree.

Second Yorkshire.

I'm thinking the laced is a pullet and the white crested black is a cockerel. No clue if I'm right....I'd love to get follow up in a month or so to see how they look.
