Polish chickens, roughly 8/16 weeks old. Looking after them during school summer holiday (hopefully get to keep them!). Intrigued to see what you’d gender them as?

I have a feeling the 2 blonde ones are potential cockerels? I know one blonde one has the ‘hen looking hair do’ but is quite dominant and i think looks quite spiky at the back however.

I understand won’t be able to keep 2 cockerels with 1 hen? (Or even if all 3 were cockerels!) I grow far to attached so I’m hoping we have 2 hens😅😂

This one is mine and is a girl. Though it’s a Padovana not a polish. Not sure what yours are. You will probably just have to wait and see if any of them crow! The smooth one looks like a girl but not sure about the frizzle ones

They’re very cute, very friendly and very funny to watch! However, I think all 3 may be cockerels by the sounds of them😅

These are the two we hatched around 7 weeks ago. They have both started to crow- very loudly! Luckily, the farm we bought the fertile eggs from are going to take them back. Such a shame as they’re great characters! You’ll know when they crow! It won’t be long if they are boys.

You really can't tell just by looking a them, especially the frizzles. You just wait to wait until they crow or lay

I'm just here for the photos 😍

Yep, they were crowing this morning HAHA. 3 cockerels, can’t write it! But at least they’re all cockerels and seem fine together at the moment. Will keep an eye. Going from advice of others, as they were hatched together and no hens around, they’ll be fine to keep.

here’s some more pics!…
