Help with breed/sex of chicks...

[Lainey-chick]

I bought some chicks at TSC that were supposed to be ISA Brown and Cuckoo Maran pullets. When I got home, I had three yellow chicks and upon researching found out they were probably ISA cockerels since they are sex-linked by coloring. They are all around 4 weeks now and the ones I thought were ISA cockerels look more like Leghorn pullets to me than ISA cockerels. I also think this Cuckoo Maran looks like a cockerel. What do you think?

The white birds may very well be leghorn pullets - the Cuckoo Marans is a cockerel.

I agree. Keep an eye out for a reddening come on the Leghorn however because it's still young. Since the barred bird doesn't have pink legs like a Marans and instead yellow, it appears to be a Barred Rock

Wow, I guess the Cuckoo Marans were mislabeled.They are very loud and are skittish compared to the ISA browns girls. The white ones that may be Leghorns are super friendly and I was hoping they were pullets. I guess if I get one rooster from TSC out of the pullets bin, that isn’t too bad. Thank you all for your help!!
