These are almost 7 weeks old. And I don't know how you all get such great pics! Mine will not hold still for a second. One of these has that shimmer in their tail feathers...is that always an indication of rooster? Any guesses on these two?

I figured that...Hoping that since BCMs have larger combs, they could still be gals! LOL except for that shimmerAt this age you're looking at comb and wattle growth. They are both cockerels.
A little bigger sometimes, but not that big. Not at 7 weeks.I figured that...Hoping that since BCMs have larger combs, they could still be gals! LOL except for that shimmer
Oh wow, I may have more boys than I thought! I can keep one, but that's all for now....They are supposed to be "pure" so I'm hoping someone will want BCM roos!The shimmer is not an indicator.
Congrats on your 2 boys, can you keep them?
I've got 2 new 6.5 week old boys also in my latest hatch of 8. And your right, they don't stay still very long.
Spot the combs... The copper coming in on their chests is an indicator for my Marans but that is not a tell tale sign across others. My rooster is slightly over colored in his chest, the hen I needed boys from I only got 3 pullets so I'm hatching more from her. (Got 9 eggs from her under a broody now)View attachment 3832697View attachment 3832698
