Chick #2 pullet

Chick #3 pullet

Chick #4 roo

Chick #5 pullet

Chick #6 pullet

Chick #3 has a wired comb..it's coming in looking like a pea comb which Shen shouldn't have..thinking Shen might be an olive egger..the breeder did have some very nice wheaten ameacaunas also..everyone is growing nicely and I am pretty confident about the two being boys and the others four being girls.

I raise FBCM. I agree that the comb is the best early indicator, but baby pullets can sometimes have big combs and take longer to sex. Here's my best guess at this point with your brood:
1.M
2.M
3.F
4.F
5.M
6.M

I have a 2 month old chicken that looked just like your #2 BCM so please update when it gets to about 2 months old. I will give you a picture as soon as I can. Black Copper Marans are amazing!

I am going to try and keep updating weekly for a while. Would love to see a picture of yours!
