Sam Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I have no idea but I'm guessing "Poppy" is more of a Patrick! But I just wanted to say how cute they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'd say Poppy and Cutie are need more masculine names, but the others could be OK with the names they have got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmastar Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'd say Poppy and Cutie are need more masculine names, but the others could be OK with the names they have got. cutie is named ben , as my kids named him after a friend , and poppy im sad about , the other marans has quite a bit of headgear but it is sooooooo shy so i couldnt get it on the pic very well i realy dont want to name them now for obvious reasons , how long before they start to wake people up at silly o clock ?? Also would it be best to try to find them homes now untill they are loud ? my friend can take one but i don think more than this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rhode Island Red Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The picture that is 11 or 12 down from the top looks like a cockerel. A tip I learned from my grandparents: If a chick has a short, stubby tail, It's more than likely going to be a cockerel If a chick has a longish tail (not short and stubby) its more than likely a hen PS. This isn't always the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
