Hopefully Not ALL Roos?

[Coffeebean1947]

I have 4 chicks that I'm in denial about being Roos. My cuckoo marans, Easter egger, buff orphington, and porcelain d'uccle. They are all 2 months old. What do y'all think?

The photos are not that clear (individual head photos showing combs and wattles are needed to sex chickens at this age) BUT I'm actually not seeing any obvious roos here. In fact they might be all pullets.

I see all pullets..

The only one I'm suspicious of is the cuckoo because of the lighter coloured feather pattern. But that could just be the photo lighting... Comb and wattles say pullet.

The color is sort of washed out in those pictures, so it is difficult to tell what color the combs are. But, honestly, from these pictures I am not sure if any of them are cockerels. The Easter egger is a pullet, the D'Uccle is probably a pullet, and I'd lean that way for the other two as well.

too dark to be a marans cockerel, I've got a little breeding group of cuckoo marans and all of my cockerels are normally much lighter than the OP's marans at 2 months old..

I also don't think the barred bird is a cuckoo Marans. It has yellow legs and beak, so probably a barred rock.

Didn't even see the yellow~ Agree 100% with Jed

I'll get pictures when we clean out the coops this evening. Thanks!

She is white, just crappy lighting sorry.
