4 week old black copper marans

[Painted Calls]

I’m so happy you posted this! I am new as well to FBCM. I have 8 and they’ll all be 4 weeks old tomorrow. I have one that is definitely in question and I’m leaning toward cockerel. Here’s his/her picture next to one of the others.

This is definitely a cockerel.

If you'd like others opinions you could post a new thread with pics for verification.

There's also the Marans thread if/when you get obsessed with them like me....

Here they are

Of the 6 I see, I'm guessing 2 cockerels right now, but I don't have the eye that some experts here have. The 2 facing the camera. (3rd and 5th from left). But it's a little early yet for me to give a positive answer.

Cute babies... Congrats
