Gimmie Your Gender Guesses!

See, I was a little confused about the Marans because most of what I read about them said that some Marans crosses were sex-linked and some were not, and I couldn't determine where the Hoovers version (Midnight Majesty) fell in that debate. But thank you, and I totally agree about Blue.

I also have a pullet named Onyx right now.

It's a lovely name, isn't it? Is your Onyx also a Marans?

Thanks! All good stuff to know...except I'm not so sure about the "calm, friendly" part. Onyx is the spiciest girl in the bunch so far.

Hmm, well...Ginger the Cream Legbar and Onyx the Midnight Majesty Marans are both sex-linked breeds, so according to their coloring they have to be female.

You could be right about Blue or Opal, though. In observing her for these weeks, I'm definitely leaning toward girl for Opal, but Blue is definitely big and gawky for a 4-week old chick. Cross your fingers for me!

They all look like girls. I have a little white girl named Opal too! She's a Wyandotte bantam.

All pullets.

My 'Morty' that passed last summer was one of my friendliest birds in my flock. I've been wanting to hatch more, but have 30 Marans eggs stewing now.

I'm pretty sure, not 100%, but pretty certain that Sapphire Olive Eggers are sex-linked, and males will be barred. If that's true, Blue is certainly a pullet.
