Polish 11 week old chicks, male or female?

Hello everyone,
I'm new to raising chicks, I got these Polish chicks as a gift from my friend, could you take a guess as to weather they're pullets or cockerels?
Thank you!

That's really sad, our first time and it took me forever to convince my husband, sold him on the free range egg idea, kids love them too now.

I sure hope some of them are pullets. They are stunning birds.

I feel bad just writing it but those are all cockerels. They all have the narrow pointed sex feathers in their crests. Maybe your friend will trade you for a couple of pullets?

It's easier to tell with a shot of the faces, and the feathers over the tails, but I would guess males based on the disheveled "hair-dos".

Oh no, all boys, my kids will be crushed, can't have cockerels where we live...

Can you post closer shots?

You won’t have a problem until they start crowing.

I think the cream one is a rooster. If they’re already a year old they should be crowing/laying.

I assumed she meant weeks.

I meant 11 week old...

Rhey look like a roosters to me, if you decide to get more Polish, I would recommend ordering them as sexed chicks. Have a great day and God Bless!
