Help - Please ... Buff Orpington and Black Copper Maran

[JensPeeps]

I am brand new to chick ownership and need help from some of you who have experience with these breeds. My chicks are 4 - 5 weeks old. I have one each of 4 different breeds, so it is very hard to compare them. However, two of them, which I was told were hens, have been oil and water from the beginning. They are always at each other and the other girls. I really am stating to believe they are roos. The buff orpington has already sprouted a nice dark pink comb and wattles. The Black Copper Maran has started getting some dark pink wattles, but not really a comb. The top of "her" beak is getting very dark pink - it's just flat ... kind of weird looking. Both very aggressive behavior. Opinions please.

Pretty sure Penny is a roo.. not sure on the Marans

That's definitely what I'm afraid of. Thanks for the feedback. Anyone else?

Lucy should probably have his name changed to Lance.

Ha ha... thanks Sphinx! I will keep that in mind when picking new names. Although I am still holding out hope ... I guess time will tell.
