Small Flock in MD

[Jilly1425]

Hi - I have a small flock in MD. I have had some experience with Black Sex Links, Production Reds, and Golden Laced Wyandottes. My laying flock was usually less than 5 and right now I have 2 - a RP and GLW.

I also just recently got 4 baby Black Copper Marans from a local hatchery northeast of Baltimore. They are not so baby anymore - in fact they are about 9.5 weeks and looking more like adult chickens every day. I am hoping to build my BCM flock for eggs and hopefully even for show and breeders toward the SOP.

I am having some issues with sexing my juvies - pretty sure I have at least 1 roo (possibly overcoloted) and 2 pullets. I can’t tell on the black one with the large, red comb. I have had chickens in other breeds with big combs as juvies that ended up being hens after all!

Here are some more photos of the juvie BCM in question. In one photo, the juvie is next to the one I am fairly certain is a cockerel...
