First four chicks ever, none were sexed. I learned 90% of what I am doing from past threads in this very forum to prepare myself. After two years of planning I took the plunge and now already asking for help. :D I'm wondering if I ended up with possibly three cockerels? The polish is the most outgoing, likes to run for my shoulder or head to sit on. Super brave, which makes me think it might be a cockerel but I know it is very hard to tell with them. The one looks like a Cochin, probably my only guaranteed pullet. Then the other two. I have no idea on the breeds (it was un-sexed mixed bantam mix) but red is showing through on wattles already? The polish is about a week ahead of the other three, they are almost or just at 5 weeks. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on the breed of the two unknown and if I have cockerel in my future. I was ok with one, but three....we might have issues.

The Buff Cochin - pullet, I believe. Very nervous little one.

Unknown breed with some red in the wattle area. Not sociable, very loud and sort of a bully.

Other unknown breed with red wattle area and bottom of comb. Sweet and like to climb in and cuddle in your hands for naps.

The crazy silver laced polish that loves to play in my hair and hang out on my head.

Oh dang - thanks for the response affirming my initial observations - I'm not totally sure what I'll do. Three roosters will not get along but there are a lot of people with chickens in my area, hopefully someone will be up for a trade. Poor pullet she must feel super left out.
