I did my best taking pictures. They don't stand still and are always running with the Marans. But here's what I have. There are three blue and two black. I *think* that two of the blues are girls and one of the blacks. Any thoughts? They are 15 weeks old.

Thanks!

the only pullet I possibly see is the black one in the 3rd pic

eta- oh, and maybe the blue in front of the 4th, but would like a comb shot

Black one is a roo. The blues could also all be boys, I'd wait if I were you though. I find that they're easy to sex from 4-7 weeks, then if you didn't sex them then, it's a little harder unless you show off the iridescence of the black feathers, the hooding over their eyes, and the development of the tails so far.

My Blue/Black boys and girls are 11 weeks old now, and the boys tend to have long, thin tails coming out, very hooded type eyes, and the boys are extremely iridescent now.

The combs though are all starting to look alike, but yours do indeed seem quite boyish.

first blue is definitely a roo, sickle feathers are visible on the saddle
second blue has a relatively large comb(3row pea) usually indicative of roo, would wait just to make sure
3rd pic- blue on left has large comb, can't see tail or saddle feathers - blue in back is a roo, tailfeather wrong shape for pullet - black on left is pullet - black on right is a roo, sickle saddle feathers visible
4th pic- blue in back is a roo, tailfeathers and sickle saddle - black is a roo since you said you only had 2 black and the other one has a much smaller comb I am assuming this one is the one we see the backside of in pic 3 - blue in front, can't see comb, can't see and sickle feathers and tail isn't telling much either, would wait to make sure on this one

Ugh... sounds like a lot of roos. Hopefully I have at least two pullets. Maybe I'll end up with a blue roo/pullet and a black roo/pullet. None of started crowing yet but I guess that will be soon. Thanks!
