Pullet or Roo???

That is definitely not a Wyandotte. (I have raised over 65 breeds of chickens.) I think she is a Cuckoo Maran. Barred Rocks show definitely striping by that age.....

Thanks everyone ... even though I won't "know" for sure until they are older it makes me feel better about the chances they are girls

I guess she is a mystery bird until she gets older then

As long as she is not a roo, I'm happy! Chocolate eggs would be fun too ... then I would have light brown, green/blue and chocolate - nice rainbow of colors!

Oh, I was just looking at pictures of Cuckoo Maran chickens, and I think you are right because her legs are colored just like them! We'll see when in a month or so

Funny.... i am pretty new to chickens but it surely seems if they have tree trunks for legs they turn out roos every time
