Can you show me your 7 week old French black copper Marans? How do you determine sex in this breed?

I think so too, but it's hard to see in those photos, except for the one obvious boy.Based on combs I woud say that you have 3 pullets and 3 cockerels
They definitely won't crow at 5 weeks. More like 15 weeks, but it depends on the guy. I'd say anywhere between 12-20 weeks is normal range for first crowing.I’ve got one that has a pronounced dark comb, and two that have small pink combs and three who’s combs are still small and yellow. They hatched February 16th. Only the one with the largest comb is showing any real dominance and only by jumping up on the waterer. I’ve been told that the roos will start crowning around 5 weeks, but no one is making more than a peep.
ah true, I forgot to mention: my rooster didn't crow till it was 6 months old!They definitely won't crow at 5 weeks. More like 15 weeks, but it depends on the guy. I'd say anywhere between 12-20 weeks is normal range for first crowing.
I thought it was a bit odd that they would crow so young. My other roos crowed around the 15-20 week range.They definitely won't crow at 5 weeks. More like 15 weeks, but it depends on the guy. I'd say anywhere between 12-20 weeks is normal range for first crowing.
