Marans always have white legs.

my two have a dark stripe down the front though just wondering if it was like what I heard about barred rocks and how the dark stripe in the front of there leg means there girls?

If they're good quality Marans they'll have white legs....no black stripe down the leg. How old are they? When they start getting their feathers you can tell pretty quickly who's a girl and who's a boy......the roosters are much lighter in color than the pullets.

they are about 2 1/2 weeks old but they are poor quality from a hatchery if you have pics of a male and females coloring I could probably tell.

thanks
