Can you guys tell me what sex you think these Marans are? I know they aren't good quality birds, I'm just hoping to have some nice eggs

Although I have a feeling I have one roo and one pullet. They are 11 weeks old.


Chick #1 (pullet?)

The first one yes, is a pullet. The second bird has quite the comb for 11 weeks, but it doesn't look red in the photos. I'm a bit iffy on that one...
 
I think they're both pullets too. One of my BCM had a notcieably larger comb and wattles than the other, but both were girls. I'd think an 11 week old roo would have a much bigger comb and wattles than #2 has.
 
Like Illia said... nice they are both pullets... I could tell my cockerels by 5 weeks.... very distinct difference.
