I know, I know, it’s waaayyyyy too early to tell but I love keeping track and posting updates for others who may also be in this waiting game of waiting for chicks to get older to tell hen or roo. I bought three bbs Marans (two of which are splash, and one blue) and one forest egger. Anyways, I just wanted to post progress pics as these chicks age and see any guesses y’all wanna take! These chicks hatched 3/25 so their 2.5 weeks old ❤️



These are my guesses comparing them with eachother since they’re hatch mates 😁
Chick 1 is the forest egger (suspected cockerel)
Chick 2 is splash marans (hopefully pullet?!)
Chick 3 is blue Marans (suspected cockerel)
Chick 4 is splash marans (hopeful pullet?!)

Chick 3 is looking less Cockerell-like in these latest pictures, I'm leaning towards pullet on that one now but 1 and 4 are looking suspiciously rooish haha 😄 maybe 2 is a pullet too, but I'm looking at those little wattles with a raised brow 🤔
 
4 weeks tomorrow what are your guesses? They all hatched on 3/25

First is my forest egger and is definitely a little cockerel.

Second is one of my Splash Marans

Third is my blue Marans

Fourth is my other splash Marans

I’m kind of torn on what my guesses are bc the first chick which is also their hatch mate and a mix from the same flock as the others began showing and growing his comb over a week ago. 🤔
The blue I'm still leaning cockerel, the first splash I think is for sure a pullet, and the last splash could go either way.
