Here we go... they are about a month old mix of blue, black, and black copper marans according to the breeder:

Chick 1 in front, chick 2 in back

Chick 2:

The individual pics were taken a couple days earlier than the group pic. Chick 2's comb is definitely quite pink and wattles are coming in. I don't see any wattles yet on chick 1, but she has always been bigger with darker legs.

Chick 1 has a pea comb, likely from an Olive Egger project. The pea comb gene has an inhibiting effect on wattles. Both chicks are cockerels.

I'm curious about the little black and white frizzle with the pink comb. (S)he is 5-6 weeks old

Can you tell me what about chick 1 points to it being a cockerel? I'm new to all of this

Too much comb development at too young an age.

I am wondering about the sex of my three buff Orpingtons. They are 15 weeks old. I am also wondering about one of my easter Eggers. It is 14 weeks old.

Sorry about the far away second photo of the easter Egger, I had her/him caught and set her down for a quick second photo and she skedaddled off with her pals.

Any advice would be great thanks!

I'm guessing this ended up being a roo?
