Thanks. I'll keep my fingers crossed! I really would like some nice dark eggs from at least 1 of them. Am I right to assume the one with the red feathering is a male?

Idk... Not sure which one..

Thanks. I'll try for some separate pics of them in a few more weeks. Course by then the gender issue will be a moot point.

I took these photos yesterday:

Most of the black chicks are black-copper-marans from madelynbelle's eggs, and the blue and splash are from her blue marans eggs. The brownish chicks are golden cuckoo marans from various breeders.

ETA: Yes, it's sunny and very warm here in Texas now! Aren't you jealous?! (but in a couple months we'll be blazing hot - toooooo hot)
