Male or Female Marans??

[Seth_12]

I hatched out some splash Wheaton, Wheaton, and blue Wheaton marans and they are now 3 weeks. These two I can’t tell if they are male or female. What do you think?

I don't think tell either. At this point, 'a guess' would be just that.

I think it’s a little to early to tell, maybe come back in 3 weeks

Agreed, you'll need to come back in several weeks. Around 6-8 weeks.

Too early, best to wait until about 6-8 weeks old.

I agree it’s to early to tell, but they are super cute, that’s for sure!

What color is breast feathers on second? Can you get a clear picture? First is a pullet in my opinion.

This one doesn’t have much breast feathers

Hi, I bought this Black Maran at 4 weeks old. It was sold to me as a female. It’s now 3 months old and is beginning to look like a cockerel. Can anyone confirm?

I think that's a cockerel, I think I see pointed saddle feathers by the tail. I'm no expert so let's ask these folks @Rhodebar Lover @EmmaRainboe
