How do you determine the sex of Black Copper Maran chicks?

[franfoley]

I purchased eggs from a breeder and 5 hatched. They are Black Copper Marans. BC was marked on these eggs.

Is there a way to tell roos from pullets

in the baby chicks by color or do I need to wait for comb to color and crowing to start.

I don't know any keys to that color/color sexing them but you ought to be able to tell sex by the waddles/comb ~3 wks...if all else fails, post pix of them here around that age & you'll get answers

Pretty babies for sure
