Sadly, it looks like they are all cockerels!

I was kind of hoping Inat least had one pullet but I guess I will know for sure when they all crow

Hey everyone So almost 6 weeks ago I bought Olandsk Dwarf chicks and I also bought 3 Black Copper Marans. I was wondering if you guys could help me sex the 3 Maran chicks. I know I have one rooster and I am pretty sure one is a female. I do not know if the one with the floppy looking comb is a boy or a girl. They are so sweet and gentle In order of pictures: Possible pullet, Unknown, Cockerel
Thanks!

1st picture & 4th picture both pullets, I believe.

I also think you have a few pullets. When I asked the same questions several months ago, everyone told me cockerels too. And luckily someone pointed me to a sop for bcm thread for a better answer that ended up true. 2 were pullets. I suggest you ask there too: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...er-marans-thread-breeding-to-the-sop.1122465/

They are an amazing resource!

What was the chick minimum for GreenFire Farms?

I ordered mine from Greenfire. Then min is 6 but they sent me 2 extras. Which I suppose if good when they are expensive but not if you are tight on space... I have another order coming next week! Can’t wait

I have raised at least 20 Black Copper Marans from chicks and I must say all of yours are cockerels.

Thanks for the advice! I am going to Florida soon and I am thinking that I will pick up some chicks from a friend that shows them I also might sell 1 and give 1 to her
