What sex are these Black Copper Marans?

[Animal Sandman]

Can I get some help sexing these four BCMs? I'm worried 3 of them might be roos. Thanks in advance!

#1 Cockerel?



#2 Cockerel?



#3 Pullet?



#4 very unsure but leaning toward cockerel

I would say out of any of them, I would think #2 is for sure. They all almost look the same besides the third chick having almost no comb, which could be a bad sign if you were shooting for all girls.

Just my take. Not an expert here whatsoever.

Good luck!

My vote is #2 and @4 are roo's. Sorry also if you wanted all girls

I was hoping for 1 roo out of this group of chicks but it looks like I'm getting a lot more than I wanted. Anymore guesses? I'm going to try to more pics in a couple weeks to see if it'll be more obvious.

I've been thinking about posting some updated pictures of them up here. I'll try to take and post some pictures on Wednesday. I'm out of town right now. But I would like to see what y'all think about them now. I'm not sure if I can tell the difference from 1, 2, and 4 now though but ill try my hardest.

At least to me, #3 looks like your only pullet.

That's what I'm thinking too
