Update at 8.5 weeks from the flock of cockerels...maybe a girl in there?

I posted a couple weeks ago and these were the "maybes" for pullets...I am not so sure anymore on the Black Copper Marans, though it does look different from the other BCMs who are definitely cockerels. The two possible pullets were thought to be pullets a couple weeks back. There is also a photo of a second Americauna (Americauna 1, different from the Americauna in the first photo with the pea-type comb) that I'm wondering about, though I'm thinking probably a cockerel? There is a photo of the BCM pullet in question next to a sibling who is clearly male. Thank you so much for your replies, I want to rehome the young roosters asap so your replies will help me to be confident in who to give away! Thank you!

The Marans are for sure both cockerels. The solid black ones aren't showing male specific feathering at this stage but their combs are large and colorful, so pretty certain those are cockerels as well. Sorry for the bad news.

All looking male

Oh man, I can't even believe my luck. I incubated 19 eggs in my classroom and I'm stuck with all boys!

That's a bummer. I'm surprised you'd get all males out of 19. Almost unheard of. We've all had our bad luck at one time or another, so you're not alone.

I think they all look male as well

Thanks! I should have bought a lottery ticket with that luck! Actually only 10 hatched but still…

The 1st pictures look both females bcm and Americana? The bcm color is correct for a female. They should be all black with a faint copper leaking through there neck.

The 3rd and 4th are both males.

.... flock of cockerels!

Thank you for the laugh!

Males of that breed have more color on them especially the red wing patch.
