sorry not sure but needs to be older like when it has some grown up feathers

Any ideas? Been told they are 8 week hybrids

The stance and how the tails are rounding down is a good sign for females. I'm not very good at it besides that.

Here's my 9 week old black copper Marans. Hen on left, rooster on the right? Or do you need other angles? Thanks

Thanks for your replies...Joplus do you think then that mine are girls? Would also appreciate any ideas on breed. Many thanks

How old are they? Mine are 9 weeks. I posted these on my thread and they said you can tell gender by the combs. So based on that I made these guesses which are hopefully right. Yours have red combs.


Pic #1) Buff, BCM- pullets, RIR roo?

2) RIR and BCM pullets and on right BCM roo?

3) Buff pullets?

4) Buff Rooster left, pullet right?

5) Buff hen left, BCM rooster right?

This (?) has recently started cocka doodle rooing all day. Live very close to others so I need to know if I need to get rid of it. Got it at chickens galore in norco and we're told they were female.
