Are the pics of different chooks? I think the bottom one looks like a girl and the two in the fore ground of the top pics looks like boys. Not sure about the one at the back. Thats just a guess!

Not sure myself but arent dark chicks female and lighter ones male. I only hatched one last year and he was a boy

with the cocks the comb starts slightly further back and you might see the spot where the spur will grow from on the legs. Also my lighter ones were male, not sure if this is true for all types of maran.
