Gender Check, 3 Suspects

[EmmaEsme]

Looking for second opinion on the sex of these six week old Easter Eggers.

1 - Looks kinda like a copper Maran, I think boy. Terrible temperament, attacks others and starts fights. Shame, 'cause he has six cute toes and was my absolute fave at hatch.

2 - All black, smooth legs. This one got me wondering. Super lovely, curious and friendly. Always first to check stuff out. Doesn't run, will let me pet them. Today, squat like a girl when I pet their back!?

3 - All black with fuzzy Maran feet. Has me stumped... Small single comb, not really any waddles, but are those long saddle feathers I see?? Late bloomer?

I know it's early, but all my others I can tell, these EEs can be tricky though. The comb type throws me off a lot! Thanks for any guesses!

1 & 2 are male, 3 is female

Thanks! I felt pretty certain about 1... Just wishing it wasn't so!

I hope you're wrong about 2. At any rate, he's absolutely gorgeous and has such a great temperament and personality.

Are you SURE on 3? What's up with those saddle feathers? She's just fancy?

Yeah, @Odder is pretty much never wrong.

The saddles aren’t saddles, just scruffy new pullet feathers. #3 is definitely a girl!

Now, for 2, I am pretty darn sure. That large comb, and those silver-edged hackles…I’m sure that soon some silver leakage will grow in on the wings and back. He’s just maturing slowly.
If he’s somehow not a boy…I would indeed be surprised, but it’s possible, as whatever confirming male feathers he will grow have not yet shown themselves. If they never do, well….

I agree. #2 just seems to be maturing a little slower than #1.

Thank you everyone! Great news that Rogue (#3) is a girl! =) But unfortunately, mixes like these are a dime a dozen here and I certainly can't keep all the males, so it would be a sad, difficult and disappointing day if we have to cull Poe (#2)... Sigh. What a beautiful temperament he has so far.
