Need help sexing I only ever raised silkie chicks and hatched these from my one hen I found a few years ago i always thought she was a maran but was never to sure would like help on her breed too ( the silkie chick was from another mom)

The hen looks more like a black sex link than Marans. I think the chicks are a bit too young to sex. I'd give them a couple of more weeks.

Thank you I really didnt know what she was i just saw a google image that looked like her and said maran under it but all the others didnt look like her so I appreciate that

I too think your hen is a Black Sex Link, and that the chicks are a bit young to sex.

If I had to guess their genders I'd say 1 pullet and 3 cockerels.

I really hope your guess is wrong but I just saw a lot saying at 4 weeks they could be sexed but it seemed like they did not have enough of anything they would talk about

4 weeks old is way too young.
