Breed ? Genders?

[Chickensandchicks]

was told I bought 6 hens ...already removed 3 obvious roosters but I think I still have 2 more and was told black maran but today someone mentioned they can't be full breed as feathered feet...anyone with any ideas?

Only the one on the right in the 2nd picture is female. I'm assuming that that's the same one as the one in the corner in the first picture, but if they're two different chickens, then they are both female.

You only have one pullet... she's the one in the right in the second picture.

Thanks when should I expect eggs from her? She is 5 months old

She will probably start at 6-9 months old. You can tell when she's going to start laying because her comb and wattles will get much redder, you will notice her taking interest or scratching around in the nesting boxes, and she may squat if you put your hand on her back.

Also, the "Marans" are not purebred, due to the yellow skin and one has a pea comb. Marans can however, have feathered feet. The French line has feathered legs, while the English lines do not. There are two cockerels in the pictures
