I‘ve got three 8.5 week old Polish chickens and wonder about their gender. Billie, Blake and Bowie.

After reading loads of Polish posts here, I currently suspect Blake and Bowie to be cockerels and am still hoping Billie might be a pullet. Their crest development stages left me wondering and changing my mind frequently over the last few weeks. No one has crowed yet (got a same aged Buff Orpington, a Barnevelder and a Pekin Bantam and all three of them are starting to practice their voice in the mornings. - Alarm clocks are overrated. Just get a rooster.)

So, please let me know your guesses!

Beige white colour - Billie (first 5 pics)
Grey white - Blake (following 5 pics)
Grey with bits of beige - Bowie (last 4 pics)

Huh… the picture order changed slightly after posting. First picture is actually Bowie, followed by Billie, then Blake and back to Bowie…
