BCM chicks gender question

[gvntofly05]

I don't have pics of my individual chicks yet. I was wondering if anyone who raises BCM could let me know how soon you can start telling the roos from the hens? My chicks are about a week and a half old right now.

What is a BCM??? Is it Black copper Marans???

 

[gvntofly05]

BCM = Black Copper Marans

about 3-4 weeks or so and the combs on most of the boys will be bigger and redder although there can always be a late bloomer

I always heard that you can tell their age from chickhood - Something about a light colored spot on their head if they're a rooster?

That's a BSL, not a BCM.

I got my BCM chicks from poultry haven.
He is in Ocala, Florida.
He sexed my chicks correctly at 2 weeks.
PM him.
