    6 Straight run Copper Black Marans chicks (SOLD) (Bayhorsebonne)

    How do you determine the sex of Black Copper Maran chicks?

    I purchased eggs from a breeder and 5 hatched. They are Black Copper Marans. BC was marked on these eggs. Is there a way to tell roos from pullets in the baby chicks by color or do I need to wait for comb to color and crowing to start.
