Hi there, I'd be interested to hear your views on these three. I have my own thoughts .... I hatched all three under my broody bantam. One is an Olive Egger, the other 2 are Copper Marans

A - The Black Copper Marans ... boy or girl ?

what do you think experts?

PS they were born on the 30th May so are roughly 10 weeks old
 
Really! I was thinking the Black one might be a boy .... I hope you are right. What bits distinguish them as girls to you?
 
I think th top photo is possibly a rooster, notice the rounded tail feathers? The only hens I've ever seen with rounded tailed feathers are Easter Eggers, not all EE's of course but some.
 
HI,
I have 13 week old BCM'S.......definate girls.........my boys have lots of comb and wattlesand have had for awhile.
Cannot see the EE well enough.I have one myself that I just am not sure about.
Good luck........my marans lay like crazy

THanks for all your comments posters!
NewHen - i'm thinking I would like a BCM cockerel so if none of mine turn out to be boys maybe we could discuss ..... my only small problem is one set of neighbours. Hey Ho
