Looks like pullet to me, but I'm no expert on Marans. :)

2 sweet-as-can-be Light Brahma pullets, Georgina (the layer), and Kitty (the queen) PS: Kitty finally started laying at 11 months

 

Trousers... One of the best roosters who ever lived, though I never knew him, I grew to love him.  May he rest in peace

How old?

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

I have the same question.  I suspect a roo.  It is 8 weeks old.
