i vaguely remember reading on here that you can sex marans chicks from birth..is this true and if so how? (something to do with a white spot on the head i believe?)
thanks

Cuckoo Marans and Golden Cuckoo Marans, yes. The males have a larger white spot on their head.

Other colors - No. But Wheaten and Blue Wheaten are sexable as soon as their wing feathers are about 1 inch long.
 
it is a gold cuckoo marans, sadly just the one hatched so i have nothing to compare it too.....
 
Look at its head. Is there a large yellowish white dot on there, expanding to the base of the neck, or is it small like a little strip or tiny dot?
 
theres a yellow/white blob on its head...just getting a picture...it doesnt go down to the neck but its big i think?
 
i think i made a mistake and that is not a marans but a mechelse koekoek. ive just picked up a few mechelse chicks from a breeder and they are identical to this little one!


so which one is my marans out of the others? now im really stumped???
