They are some of the prettiest chickies I've ever seen...the markings are so cool...hope they turn out to be beautiful birds for you.

Mar 19, 2009 #8 Pumpkinpup Poultry Princess 12 Years Jul 16, 2008 4,147 31 336 North-West Georgia It has been my experience that if they have a distinct round yellow spot on the head, they are likely males.

I thought #4 looked roo-ish just based on the expression and stance in that picture. We're hoping for at least two pullets, since two of the marans belong to TubbyChicken and two are mine, that way we could each have a pair.
