Help with what type of chicken

[ArmyGal]

I have both sexing and breed questions. First, I have a pair that look like they could be black stars, black copper marans, or maybe brown leghorns. I got them from Atwood’s early Sept. so they are about 7-8 weeks old now. I’m not thinking black stars even though they have some yellow on the legs with black wash, because one looks male, with curved tail feathers and bigger/redder comb and wattles. I’d appreciate any input from y’all!

Either BSL or some kind of OE. Both pullets IMO

Both are black sex link pullets. The wonky tail feathers will probably molt out.

Thanks. Agh. I really need a rooster for my flock. Most people complain about getting too many Roos, but not me, even ordering from McMurray last year, ordering certain straight runs and specific cockerels, part of the order died in shipping and I ended up with all hens.

Sorry to hear that. Look for keepers in your area. Someone is bound to want a male off their property

I’ll be looking. Thanks.
