    Easter egger/BYM hen or roo?

    1 is a pullet. 2 looks like a red sex link and if she's not, still looks like a pullet to me. 3: That looks like a rose comb and they are much harder to sex. I'd say Cockerel for now but it's worth waiting 3 ish weeks to know for sure. 4. Pullet

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    I'm pretty sure black shiny feathers aren't a male only trait. Many hens have super shiny greenish purple feathers, like my Billy. I think the dark red colors near the shoulders and saddle are male coloring and also he has saddle feathers.

    Just wanted other's speculation on the breed of this "mystery " chick.

    I strongly believe it is a cuckoo maran but if you have more pictures of only that bird it would help more.
