Plymouth Rock Beaks

[-Flash-]

Do Plymouth Rock combs tell what sex they are? I have four 2 week old Plymouths and 3 of them have a yellow beak and the last one has a white one. Does that mean I have 3 of one sex and 1 of the other?

Yes

Then it can't be a Maran, we got the eggs from a breeder and none of them were dark brown, I'll get a photo of the chick...

Maran eggs are brown. They range in color depending on source and whether birds were bred for dark eggs.
