Thanks so much for the update!!! :celebrate Little excites me more, honestly. :)
It appears most ended up...well...cockerels! :hmm How nice you were able to find loving homes.

Leakage is pretty much red plumage in the wing bars, and possibly hackles (I think?). Although I'm not sure if that occurs in pullets.
Black Sex Link, maybe? As far as I know, Marans only have pink or white foot bottoms. A little confused at this point, and would love for some of the experts...
Thank you for the picture! :)
White could indicate Marans. You say there is copper plumage here and there on pretty Marian....is there any concentrated in the hackle area?
~Alex
You're more than welcome. :) I'm here to help in any way I can.
There's definitely a possibility that she's still a Marans, just not of Cuckoo variety. Keep in mind that while most Marans are feather-legged, not all share this feature. Are the bottoms of her feet pink?

Interesting....the more I look at Sunny, the closer I'm leaning towards pullet. :)
Forgot to mention that Maid Marian isn't a Cuckoo Marans, due to lack of Cuckoo pattern. Not entirely sure what she is, unless of course I could see her legs.
I'm thinking these two are both cockerels.
I was...
Una: Pullet
Sunny: I'm honestly on the fence about this one....it could either be a quick-developing pullet, or a cockerel who's slow to develop. :)
Chickpea: I know next to nothing about Polish. :lol: However, since there isn't any noticeable presence of large, red wattles, I'm guessing...
