French Wheaton maran

[Minerrover]

Hi! We just picked up 4 straight run French wheaton marans and I was wondering anyone could help me figure out what sex they are. I believe they're only about a week old so it may be too soon but I attach some pictures. I've read that the lighter color tends to be the females. Thanks!

Not too familiar with the breed and it'll be way easier to tell when they feather out a little more but if i had to take a guess now i'd say first two pullets second two roos? I'm not at all confident though so don't take my word for it! Should be a lot easier in a week or two.

There's no way to know the gender until the chest feathers come out. If the chest feathers are black, it's a rooster. If they're brown (wheaten coloured), it's a female.

Agreed
