Below is a pic of both of them 1 week ago (they were about 4 weeks old)... I'm pretty sure I have 1 girl (on left) and 1 boy (on right)?
This is my first time with this breed so I would LOVE to hear what others have to say.

Thank you!

It certainly looks like a boy and girl to me. This is my first time raising chicks, and I only have one black copper maran. It is a very nice-looking chick, - like a little penguin. I enjoyed your photos, as it is interesting to see how much they change over time. I sure do hope I got a pullet!

She is a bit lighter than the boy...

I've been taking weekly pics of these chickies so we have a "record" of what they looked like... goodness knows, I won't remember next Spring when I'm trying to figure out what I have again

so I'm hoping the pics will help. I'm really enjoying these chicks - little penguins is right!
 
Most of my chicks, I have no idea who is who, - they all have varying chipmunk-like patterns. I know there are welsummers, speckled sussex, and dark cornish in the mix, but i lost a few birds and don't know what I lost. At least the maran is distinctive. My DH is taking a daily movie of these chicks! We are very excited about chickens!

buckabucka - I just checked out your chicken coop and yard... that is one sweet chicken house you have there... Wow! You have some happy lucky chickies!
 
Thanks! We still have to finish sealing up the run, but the coop is ready now. We'll probably keep them indoors for 4-6 weeks, - it is still chilly here.

Today's movie:
