    What gender are these wheaten marans?

    Is it possible to find out if there is any pullet among these? I thought the lighter one (first pic) might be, but I am not so sure. Or is it too early? They are 5 weeks old now. Thanks a lot!

    1. Almost 7 wk Blue Splash Marans / 2. “Black Copper Marans” what breed is this?

    Help! Is Stella a he or a she? I’m going to use the pronoun she because I really hope she’s a she! “She’s” very sweet, a little flighty. “She” seems to have a much bigger comb then what is supposed to be a “black copper Marans” (who has a muff and a beard?!!!, thanks Meyer hatchery) who is the...

    June Sexing Project

    Hey Everyone! I first want to start this off by saying that I was 100% inspired by @TheAlrightyGina and her Silkie Sexing Project. I saw it and thought it was the best idea ever. So here we are! Now, I am no where near as organized as Gina so the only thing I can and will do for this project is...

    [WA state] Looking for a new home for a 6wk old Black Copper Marans

    I've had hens before, but it's my first time raising chicks, and I was so terrified of getting something wrong (failure to thrive, roosters, etc.) that I over-committed on chicks. Well, as it turns out, all of my chicks have been ridiculously healthy and pullets - so I now need to downsize my...

    Sex predictions please.

    Hello, I'm brand new here, though I've dipped in and out as a lurker many times over the years. Great forum :) I wondered if anyone would be kind enough to give their opinion of the sex of my 8 week (just over) chick.
