Hello folks,
I know it may be too early, but I am curious to know who is who (I hatched 6 eggs). Could you please have an educated guess regarding the 2 weeks old chicks gender. They all are different breed so I can't compare like for like, but I have my wild guesses.
In one of the groups I was told that Maran is not a Maran apparently, though I hatched it from the dark brown egg and the parents are marans (seller confirmed).

It is a bit too early, but already the BLR wyandotte is looking like a male, as well as the sleeping barred plymouth rock. The one you have listed as a "black rock" has more developed feathers which is pointing me to female. The comb is a little suspicious though.
It would be helpful to see the leg pigment of the barred rocks as well.

I think the chocolate orpington and olive eggers could be girls. This is just a guess as they are still so young. Unsure of so-called maran. I do not believe it is a maran either based on the comb that appears to be cushion and the clean legs.

I would definitely come back in about 2+ months and we might be more positive on our guesses then. ☺️ But boy are they cute!! Feel free to please tag me when they are older I would probably have more educated guesses then!

Super helpful and equally impressive guesses :) The BLR wyandotte is giving me the roo vibes as well, I noticed recently it started do the chest bumps with the other chick (the one with suspiciously large comb).

The BPR chick has got a bit of a dark wash on the legs.

I will certainly update on the gender outcome of these babies.
I have got ducks and geese, but first time human-hen.They are so personable, more than I thought.
