Breed ID and possible gender

[ConsciouslyIncompetent]

Hi, these birds are 5 weeks old from Meyers and I'm wondering if it's possible to guess breed on this one. I received 2 and my guesses are some sort of egger or possible Opal Legbar.

Also I think this one is a Golden Cuckoo Marans and I'm assuming male but looking for confirmation.

Sorry for the bars in the picture! Thanks

It does appear to be an Opal Legbar and so far the Marans is looking like a cockerel but correct in a few weeks

Thank you! I have more to figure out as well but getting pictures of skittish chicks isn't easy!

I used to set my phone up on a tripod for a bit and catch video when I wasn't around, then pull stills from that. Way easier than trying to catch a good head shot when they're darting all over the place. They'll also be curious about the new object and look right into the camera.

Good idea, thanks!
