Sexing Cuckoo Maran chicks

[PaintedMeadows]

Our chicks are about 4 days old and I am wondering if I can sex them now. They are getting the little wing feathers now. They all look pretty black to me. 2 of them have a little bit bigger yellow spot on their heads. Also, same two have white wing feathers and the other 3 have black ones with a touch of white. Can you tell by the feathers? Or is it just the darker black to lighter black (female to male?) Thanks in advance!! Praying for all pullets. lol.

Can you post a picture? Thanks. Are their legs dark in the front?

The pullets will feather in much darker than the roos.

The hens will be darker then the males. I forget what they say about the spots on their heads but thats another method people use to sex them.

I was advise that they can be sexed just like "barred rock" or is it Dominiques. There is a site that shows how. Google it.
All the best

Thank you all. I will try to take pictures today. I have a really crappy picture already but not sure if it will help much. They are with a broodie. So dang cute too! lol. Thanks again.

What color should the legs be for a female? Couldn't find any sites with really good info about sexing.
