I hope someone can help me figure out if I have 2 girls or 1 boy and 1 girl.
We started out with 3 Polish chicks, one for sure looks like a boy, he had big red wattles at 2 1/2 months old. The other two, I am not sure. One looks suspicously like another boy. But bearded. And the top hat feathers are more spikey than the other one. With a little comb, a tiny wrinkly thing.
My untrained guess is that Perdita is a girl and Missus Pongo is actually a Mr. Pongo.
Thank you for any help! I can't have a boy here, I am undercover in the city.

Below, Perdita, who I think is a girl.

Perdita on the right with Miss Prissy on the left. Please excuse the loss of feathers, she had a very affectionate rooster at her former home.

Missus Pongo looking more and more like a boy...

coffeeelady3 - Oh no, not another boy! I don't want to have to sell that one, too.

And don't say 2 boys...that means I got all roos out of 3 Polish chicks.

fordmommy - thank you, I love the mops, too.
 
Yep, I'd say it's MR. Pongo... Perdita... In the one pic you show her hat and the feathers are all rounded, but in others there are some pretty pointy feathers, which unfortunately would mean the "r" word. The fact that her hat is more of a poof right now, rather than crazy hair makes me lean towards pullet though

Here's hoping I'm right!

Sigh, another vote for Pongo being a boy....this is not what I was hoping to hear. I wish I wasn't in the city...I don't want anyone to come tell me I have to get rid of them because of violating our noise bylaw.

But thank you for your input anyways, 19hhbelgian. (PS-that is a big horse - I love drafts)
 
For some reason, some pictures on here are just too huge for me to see and I don't know how I could look at them, but from what I can see, they are both roos.
 
Thanks chickerdoodle13.

Well, hopefully I can find someone to trade my boy for a girl....I wish I didn't have to trade him.
