The only rooster we have is polish so all chicks will be at least part polish. we also have some easter egger hens so some will be EE/polish mixes. are the chicks with crests on their heads straight polish or could those be EE/polish mixes??

I'm not sure about the 2nd one but the 1st one is definitely a polish mix, I think I see a little bit of a muff there maybe?
would the polish mixes be the ones with or without the crest? I was thinking the ones without the crest are the mixes and the ones with are the straight polish maybe not tho

The one with the crest would be a straight polish (possibly a polish mix) and the ones without look like mixes. They have the same coloring which leads me to think that (and I'm not sure if this is possible....) it is a polish mix chick that was born WITHOUT a crest? Just a guess, I'm no expert AT ALL in chicken genetics. I found an old post that may help.
