Black Copper Maran, Barred Rock, Olive Egger, Broad Breasted White Turkey

[CrazyConure]

Well, it's time for that question again. Boy or girl?

First up, we have a 14 week Black Copper Maran. Boy or girl? I was leaning girl, now I'm not so sure.






Next, we have a Barred Rock, approximately 9 weeks old. Boy or girl? Thought it was a boy, now I'm doubting myself after reading some other posts regarding the same breed at a similar age.




Olive Egger, I didn't think to ask what the combo was at the time I bought it. Approximately 12 weeks. Boy or girl? Pretty sure it's a boy.




And lastly, a Broad Breasted White Turkey. Approximately 11 weeks old. Pretty sure it's a girl; what say you BYC?




Looking forward to your responses!

First three are males, I have no exp with turkeys.

Thanks for the replies!

So, if my Maran is a roo, and he's bred over an Ameraucana pullet, the resulting chick would be an Olive Egger, not an Easter Egger, correct?

I was planning on getting some Dorkings to breed as meat birds; maybe I'll just do Barred Rocks instead. Not interested in Cornish X. Olive Egger roo will likely meet the butcher block in a few weeks.

The chickens are males, but the I'm not sure about the turkey.
