I've assumed this is a boy because of how it is feathered. It hatched March 10th. I was noticing today though that the comb is very small, at best, and not remotely pink. Thoughts?

Looks like a girl to me.
Marans roos usually telecast very early (see my BCM hatch below in byline...you'll see the roo compared to his two sisters).

Also, Marans stand taller, even the pullets, as chicks, so that is not indicative.

That comb, though, is. It is saying all pullet at this point.

The chick next to the maran is 2 weeks younger. She's a brahma/ameraucana mix. It would be nice if this was a pullet actually. I'll post an update in a couple of weeks.
