Ok, what do you guys think? One of these 3 is crowing, but they refuse to do it in front of me. They are 8 weeks old. No combs on any. Their crests are so female-like, however those red waddles on the 2 white crested are suspect. The other polish roosters I've had had much pointier crest feathers and it was obvious.
I have the worst luck with polish hens/rooster ratio. Think they are both males?

The white one I believe is a def female. The other one's crest do look very female, but you have to take into account their age. At eight weeks, no matter gender they won't have their obvious visible pointy hackled crests. Those are some very red wattles on the two white crested blacks also. I bet that its one of them you hear crowing. Super pretty birds! I love Polishes, they have the funnest personalities. :)
 
it looks to me that you have 2 cockerels....the wattles on both the black ones are mighty large and red for 8 weeks. Your white one is definitely a pullet! They are all adorable! ❤️
 
Just wanted to do an update... I go to work on weekdays too early to hear anyone crow.
So today is Saturday. I've been hanging around outside in front of the coop since first light. At 7, I heard my crower. Looked at the babies, and it's the white one!!
Hoping I didn't get 3 out of 3 roos.
