What gender are these wheaten marans?

got them from said they cannot tell pullet from a roo until they are a couple weeks old.

Yes, because you have to wait for them to feather in.

Thanks. The breeder I got them from said they cannot tell pullet from a roo until they are a couple weeks old. Good to know thou.

They do have to feather in.

I got them 2 weeks ago when they were already all coloured like this.

If they were already this color when you got them then the breeder knew they were males. This is one of the few color patterns that there is a difference in color between the male and female birds at a very young age.

Yes, the breeder must have known. And I'll know the next time. Thank you for your input.
