Thank you for sharing! They are really beautiful. Love your Silkie! I believe both the Marans are cockerels though. It looks like they both have pointy saddle feathers.

Well, Marans #1 is definitely a roo... Crowing for several weeks and has started to be quite "rapey"... Marans #2 I believe is a pullet because "she" hasn't done any of this at this point. Her saddle feathers are actually more rounded than the roo in person and the roo has a MUCH larger and brighter red comb/waddles and his tail is floofier... But I could be wrong, lol. (Roo on right in pics)

I was pretty sure the Silkie was a pullet! Not enough comb.

I also think that both Marans are cockerels... gorgeous birds!!
