Thanks! Just to make sure I understand, are you indentifying the chicks I posted in the pictures? Or are you saying you’ve purchased the color egg production pack and you ended up with BC Marans and Black sex links?

I'm identifying the chicks you posted.

Just a note: Chicks from TSc are from Hoovers Hatchery. So you can just go there, and look at the chick pics, to identify.

I think some that are father away, order from different ones. But if ou go to the link the OP posted, the picture is straight from Hoovers.

Here’s pics of the chicks with brown on the cheeks. I’m hoping this one could be a copper Maran because the dark brown eggs would be fun to have. None of them really have the fuzz on the cheeks like you’d expect an Americauna to have. And again, all of them are black, with subtle variations.

Here is some pictures of the same chick at 3 weeks old. Any guesses now that it’s got some feathers on it’s chest?

Nope, sorry, but that comb is pretty big..and those wattles...probably a male.

You think so? Even though these chicks were all sexed female at the hatchery?

We can hope not...but... sexing is only 90% accurate according to the disclaimers on most hatchery sites. Not sure I've ever seen that much wattle on a pullet at 3 weeks. Time will tell.
