Hi all,
These are supposed to be 2 Blue Copper Marans pullets. The lighter one has a a light pink to her comb already at just under 3 weeks. The darker one's comb is black - I presume it'll change, but at what age?
I know it's early but is there any way to identify sex on them?

The darker one is probably a male, I think the lighter one is a male too.
Oh dear. I already have a roo, and 2 older cockerels, now these. I can have max 2 Roos (I have 10 adult hens, 2 pullets at 6 weeks & now maybe 4 of this group are pullets). That would be 18 hens if all goes well. Which of the cockerels to keep... Sigh
 
Thanks all for your input! Can anyone explain about the black comb? Is that common to specific breeds, and ar what age would it change to red?
