These 2 are developing fairly quickly. At 4 1/2 weeks, they both have some lovely dark pink/red wattles! I've never had a blue copper marans, so I'm not sure what their development timetable looks like, but this seems quite early. My guess would be both cockerels at this point, unless more...

That gives me much hope! But no need to eat your hat 😂

Absolutely! I can see now how difficult it is to identify at such an early age. I've seen every possible outcome in the answers! I will post updated pics in a few weeks, and see if the responses change & once confirmed, I'll post again! This is quite a learning experience!

a handsome young roo too! Does the dark face indicate cockerel, or can hens have it too?

Interesting! I was surprised to see a black comb, I've never had a Blue Copper Marans before.

Thanks all for your input! Can anyone explain about the black comb? Is that common to specific breeds, and ar what age would it change to red?

Thank you! Is there something specific that helps you identify?

Oh dear. I already have a roo, and 2 older cockerels, now these. I can have max 2 Roos (I have 10 adult hens, 2 pullets at 6 weeks & now maybe 4 of this group are pullets). That would be 18 hens if all goes well. Which of the cockerels to keep... Sigh

Hi all, These are supposed to be 2 Blue Copper Marans pullets. The lighter one has a a light pink to her comb already at just under 3 weeks. The darker one's comb is black - I presume it'll change, but at what age? I know it's early but is there any way to identify sex on them?
