Someone in my flock of what should be 7 pullets crowed just a bit ago. All were hatched May 22nd so about 12 weeks old?

I think, but I'm not sure it was this buff laced polish. I was standing quite a bit away from the pen when I heard it and they were all standing together so hard to tell exactly who crowed.

The dark buff feathers are suspicious, bit let's see all your birds
Thanks, I dont have the best individual pics of all of them, but here's what I got. All were ordered from Meyer Hatchery.

Either an olive egger or green queen:

Also possibly an olive egger or green queen. I ordered one of each but not sure which is which:

I’m thinking rooster for the buff polish. There looks like the beginning of saddle feathers in the 2nd pic. My buff polish hen never had this darker coloring to her feathers so that is also suspicious.
 
Shouldn’t the buff polish have developed obvious wattles by now if a roo tho?

Both polish in my flock have just barely a tiny fold starting where the wattles are on them.

Maybe I have a hen that crows?

No body crowed this morning when I let them out of the coop so it’s still a mystery.

I’m having a hard time determining if your buff is a bearded polish. Bearded polish will have little to no have wattles. I’ve attached a photo of my silver laced polish roo that also has no wattles. If you can upload another picture of the buff’s back with the darker feathers it might be more clear if he/she has saddle feathers. Saddle feather are a bit more obvious at 14 weeks but if he us a roo you should start to see them coming in.

Edit: Wanted to add your white crested black polish looks like a pullet!
