Polish chicken sexing?

[Jo8981]

Hi, I recently rescued 8 polish chicks from a small house hoarding environment, they are different sizes and ages so can't tell you how many weeks they are. The largest one is a roo, he appears a few weeks older, the others then go down in size with the smallest being 2 little brown and black ones (golden lace) I know the laced ones can have different crests to the others. I'll post a few pics of my little flock and see what you think about sexing them. No one except the larger one has has wattle or crest showing yet. The last picture is the big boy, Greg

How old are they? I see no obvious roosters, even the one you say is a rooster.

7 roos, one pullet.
#1. Cuckoo polish, shaggy crest
#2. 4 White polish shaggy crests
#3. Splash polish rounded feminine crest
#4. Black, and Golden laced are roos, shagginess is coming in.

I see all pullets, if I look at mine that are about a little younger then yours, mine have BIG waddles.

I don't know. No info at all they were just handed to me in a basket so I of course I brought them home to look after lol. The little ones I can pick up with one hand.

That would be amazing but I wouldn't mind a couple of roos but happy if all girls

Oh wow, the only one who shows these is the big boy. I haven't got a good shot of his face to post
All the younger ones have no sign yet. I've only had them 3 days and I'm obsessed with staring at them trying to work it out

This may explain no wattles. Bearded polish chicken, Google image.
