The Maran is a pullet. The Dominique still needs to feather in a bit more.

The others are pullets.

Chick # 2 is the Marans. Chick #1 is a cockerel. It's too soon to tell which is the Barred Rock and which is the California Grey. In a few weeks, the difference in body type may be more obvious.

Easy mistake to make, especially since hatchery Cuckoo Marans don't lay the dark brown eggs the breed is known for.

Barred Rock= yellow skin, red earlobes. Cuckoo Marans= White skin, red earlobes California Grey=smaller, lighter built, yellow skin, white earlobes. The rules for sexing regarding the barring color hold true for every breed that is pure for the barring gene.
