OK, I am 95% sure that my welsummers are female.
But
not sure about the marans.

If they are Silver Cuckoo Marans, then the males will be much lighter...and have far less feathers, and usually kinda bald almost on their back...and much lighter, almost silvery gray.
The cockerels will also not develop a tail for a while.....but they will get much larger shanks & feet after a while it is so easy to see by their baldness/gray fluff/big shanks ..The pullets will have 2 distinct rows of flight feathers on their wings, almost so they are sticking way out on the wingtips as if over grown for the body size...they are much darker, have a smaller dot on the head, and develop feathers all over the body (and back) fast...that one above looks like a pullet.

Oh please give me some dry days, this wet crap is getting on my nerves. The webs between my toes are wet enough, thank you.....

Sorry, gotta vent. The coop&run I am trying to build is harder to work on with this unending rain......

I think I have rain scald on my head.

The Marans has female specific coloring.

as do the wellies.

I have 2 goats bought & paid for, waiting...and 2 100 foot rolls of wire, and about 20 T posts leaning on a log waiting...and not even started on the goat shelter which is to be a machine shed type building, at least 8 by 16.............................dang this rain is so hard & so loud that I can barely hear the Tv...and we have 16" of insulation in this roof !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You haven't yet? Even my cats have gills. They only come in to sleep in front of the wood stove and dry
