So I’ve posted about some of these before, but I have new pictures and a couple more babies to ask about. I’m pretty sure at least 4 out of the 5 are cockerels 🙄
So they are now 10 weeks old, I haven’t heard any attempts at crowing but they do bicker quite often and “stand off” to one another. I have a separate group of pullets the same age and they are so peaceful. I’m curious what anyone thinks this white one is, I think it’s a cockerel but breed wise I’m not sure. I think this was supposed to be an easter or olive egger 🤷🏻‍♀️ 0C4023B6-9154-4DCC-88B3-389F853CF2E6.jpeg 1E5AF8DE-A253-467D-8D54-7D53FF3ABE6D.jpeg 8F21ED07-BFD2-46C6-A6EE-AD1B70139230.jpeg 82076A24-16B9-4C47-880E-06E40DC861CB.jpeg
Now I also have these 2 that were supposed to be like midnight majesty marans… they are a complete mystery to me. I don’t know where the lacing or whatever is coming from… and they are both getting some green in their tails. Not sure if that means anything, I’m still learning and I don’t know if it’s the dark black sheen type of green or possible rooster tail kinda green 😑 my luck with this batch, it’s the latter. They look very similar but recently one has more of the whiter feathering in the neck, plus has a more prominent, redder comb etc. 37C848DC-66BE-4323-8925-94C386B41A21.jpeg 9BD4554E-669B-44AE-B094-B5161274958A.jpeg 5698DD64-CECC-41A5-A424-B9A57480BCC2.jpeg 712D444E-623C-4CA5-BFFB-30B35B10AE46.jpeg 2FE0E563-F461-4945-A42C-B71E70E7CCCD.jpeg

I think 1 and 3 are cockerels but 2 still has a very slight chance.😬 But more than likely they are probably all boys.☹️
