Needing to thin out my chick experiment flock. I hatched these from my BO crossed w/ my Blue Copper Marans Roo.
Tried relentlessly to figure out what sex they are, now turning for help.
I hope the pics are good enough:/
Can take more tomorrow if need be, but they're flighty little buggers.
NOTE: 1 chick has different colored legs...
Thanks in advance.
Number 1 has 6 pic:

I realize there are no standing pics in this collection, but here's some of the same birds caged. Hope it helps.
There is 1 darker chick,
1 with wattles
& 2 lighter chicks, 1 of which has a more prominent comb.

Really?!!:)
Oh wow!
I had feared lately that I had 3 cockerels & 1 hen...
The last pic of held bird is the only 1 of that 4th bird. I think it's a hen as well.

Should I get more pics? I have more in the cage but can't upload them from my phone for some reason.

Any more feed back or opinions appreciated.
The 3rd bird (w/the wattles) was born with them.
I did feather sex these when hatched, & looked to be 3 female & 1 male. However, I didn't know if feather sexing would be applicable to them. Just wanted to do it for reference & see if it would be a standard to follow.

Funny how different they each are from the same parents & clutch.

Thank you again!
