is there any chance that chick 3 is a girl?

Where did you purchase from?

I purchased from a very nice lady in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Her farm is called Dragonfly Farms.

I thought it was a girl for the longest time because it has always been the smallest and it got feathers earlier than the chick 1 and 2. If not I can exchange them or trade with a friend I have in Florida that breeds them for show. We are going to go down to Florida in a couple of weeks and she is always hatching new ones.

Please be sure to update us on chick 3 @shelbyw I thought it was a girl too but I’m no expert for sure. Sounds like either way you’ll be fine but I’m sure you’d like to keep one you’ve been raising.

there are 2 things about #3 chick that makes me think it might be a boy: light colour beak and reddish on the shoulder. on the other hand the photo might not be good, the beak can be black and the chick might be mossy. I hope you will let us know.

I got my first black copper Maran I'm not sure if she's great quality but my sister was hoping to show her any ideas? I got her first few eggs this week and I love them!

she looks alright to me but we need to see better photos of her standing .

Redish on shoulders is mossiness, he's definitely a dude.

We just started last year but I was lucky to find local woman who raises Marans as a passion project. I can't seem to find my pics of our two but for now here are the pretty eggs! Love them so much!
