8-9wk old blue copper maran

[LissyZ]

Please help me identify sex of my 4 blue copper marans, age is approximately 8-9wks old. They were sold to me as straight run chicks.

All are pullets. Lucky you!

All four look like pullets.
Those have a ton of color. Nothing like what any of my copper pullets ever looked like.

I agree-- I think they might be production blues instead, but difficult to say for sure with that photo.

Here are a some more photos while they're upright rather than nesting.

One of the things to check is the skin at the bottom of their feet. If this is white or pinkish, then perhaps they are Marans. If the skin in that area is yellowish, then maybe two production blues and two black sex links.

Feathered legs are another thing to look at-- Marans often have them, while production blues are clean legged.
