Y'all were SO helpful in identifying the breeds and sexes of two of my chickens the other day that I wanted to add some photos of my other ladies. I'm new to the chicken experience, so I want to be sure I'm as knowledgeable as I can be!

Can you confirm if these are the correct breeds and sexes listed? Anything seem off about anyone at first glance?

Marans - 7 Weeks - Pullet

Also, can anyone tell me what the little bald patch is on her head? It's been around since she was little (bottom picture, you can see a little indent on the left side of her head) and has grown with her. It doesn't appear to be irritated, and I haven't seen anyone pecking at it.

Thank you, all! This has been a fun adventure so far!

All breed and genders are right! I would wonder if the Marans had her feathers yanked out a singular time and they just haven't grown back in. Maybe a single incident rather than continued pecking? Maybe the follicles are damaged? I'm honestly not sure if genetics can come into play with a single patch of missing feathers there. Interesting!

Thanks for confirming and sharing your theories on the bald spot. I just look at it as her "birthmark," but was hoping it wasn't something more severe. It doesn't seem to bother her, though!
