Can anyone help? Ladies or gentlemen?

Beautiful birds. I see only one possible pullet.

Watch those boys around your daughter. If she's already iffy about full grown chickens she's going to be totally put off adults when the boys attack her. They can be dangerous. Get rid of them quickly is my advice.

Btw those pullets will be beautiful hens!

Is there any way you can get a better picture of them?

Can I ask which one?

Well I only see 2 possible roosters.. so all of them if your able. I see you have 4 total.

I believe the question was meant to be asking which one looked like a pullet.

I believe the one that could possibly be a Cuckoo Marans is a pullet. The one your daughter is holding could also be a pullet but I won't swear to it. The tail feathers look to be round with pointy lacing. The other 2 are probably cockerels. Clearer pictures of tail, saddle, and hackle feathers would help.

Sit up in the morning and watch them to see who is crowing. They all look different so they will be easy to cull as you watch them. Look closely at their neck feathers. Males will have long pointed feathers on their necks and also long pointed feathers on their lower back, falling to each side of their tail. Best bet though is to watch them in the early morning (get up and go sit with a cup of coffee. Avoid letting them see you watching them). As they crow .. make them disappear. As mentioned above, most roosters are really damned mean. Of all the ones in the past I have had, only one was a gentleman and very nice to have around.

The Cuckoo Maran looks to be a possible pullet, but I wouldn't rule out a slow developing cockerel.

Boy is that the truth! My rooster Roopecca was a VERY slow developer. So much so I wondered if he was one of those weird hens that crow. Nope. Just watch them and get rid of cockerels as fast as possible.
