So I hatched way too many birds this spring, and had eight Marans. Using wing sexing, I gave four away, HOPING that I had kept four hens. But now they are six weeks old, and I fear I have four cockerels. I've attached four pictures, but the color isn't showing up well--two are mostly black and white, but one of them has some silver in his wings. Two have copper on neck and/or chest. ALL have pink combs and wattles forming. Please tell me I have hens . . . but I can handle the truth. :-)
