Cuckoo araucana. Male or female

[Cooped-up]

I'm gonna guess that the 3 lighter ones are male?

You're right. If they are purebred cuckoos, the males are lighter and the females darker.

Ah thank you. That is what I thought was the case but good to check it up.

You're welcome! Looks like 4 girls and 3 boys.

Happy with that for my first incubation/brooding attempt and my second cuckoo hen just started laying today
