Help Sexing Chicks

[VirulentVulpine]

I’m having trouble sexing my 1 1/2 month old black copper maran chicks from my incubated eggs. Here’s my guesses.

I’ve given photos for every chick.

Pic 1 — Rooster
Pic 2 — Hen
Pic 3 — Hen

What do you guys think? I hope they’re not all roosters, but I do see red.

The first one does look like a rooster, but I’m not sure about the other two. I’m no EGGspert

I'm going 1 cockerel 2 pullets?

The first one has the biggest comb out of them all so I definitely think he’s a roo. The others all have smaller combs, but they still show red, and I was told red at this age is indicative of being a rooster. But it wouldn’t make sense for me to have all males.

Marans mature quickly.

You have 1 cockerel and 2 pullets.

The first is definetly a cockerel. The other two are likely pullets, but its a bit too early to tell. I've noticed before that in a flock, if there are more than one young cockerels, the most dominant tends to mature quickest while the other two are slower. I'd check back in on the other two when their about 8 weeks.

Going through the same currently. I have 3-4 that might be cockerels but just waiting to see....time will tell!
