6 week old chicks - Anconas and Cuckoo Marans

[Cyclonechick]

This is my first time raising Anconas and Cuckoo Marans! For those of you "in the know", are they showing any definitive signs of being a pullet or rooster?

1. Poppy - Cuckoo Marans - Pullet?

2. Pepper - Cuckoo Marans - Pullet?











3. Taz - Ancona - Pullet?

4. Zebra - Ancona - Pullet?

5. White Mamba - Ancona - Roo?





Thanks for any help!

The Marans are pullets.

I'm not personally familiar with Anconas, but they're a Mediterranean breed so they'll get larger combs earlier than a lot of other breeds. I do think you have the one cockerel, and I'm on the fence about Taz. I'm hoping it's just early development, what you'll want to be looking for is the comb getting red before say 12ish weeks, that'll mean cockerel.

Poopy and Pepper are pullets.
Taz looks a bit like a cock. Zebra looks like a pullet.Whote Mamba is a cock.

I am thinking that White Mamba is a cockerel, and am not sure about Tax as well. I think that the others are most likely pullets. Ancona's are such a pretty breed! I have never actually seen one in person before.
