Black copper marans..Gender question

[sewchick]

These are 4 black copper marans. My best guess is that they are all Roosters. Am I right. I have 6 total. I know one is a hen and one is a roo. But the 4 in the pictures look to me like roosters. They have not crowed yet. Makes me wonder. The other one not in the pictures does crow so I know he is a he. The bird in picture #3 it's the one I am thinking might be a pullet. Not sure. It is the only one with yellow legs. And oddball.

Sorry for the big files. I just want to make sure they are viewable.

Thank for the response. Guess I just needed someone else to tell me what I suspected. Thanks again.

Yup All roosters But they Grow up to be sooo pretty!

yeah, all roosters, sorry!

you can tell by the saddle feathers (located just before the tail feathers)

on roosters they are long and pointy. on hens they are rounded.

 

[noitulover]

but also on BCM, (and correct me if i'm wrong, marans experts) they males have the DEFINITE coppery hackle feathers... the hens from what i've seen have much less distinct coloring.

They all have saddle feathers, along with pointy hackle feathers, so there's no doubt about them being cockerels.
