This sweet baby has been the bossiest and most curious of my current brood. They're my only blue copper Marans. I have a black copper Marans in with them whose comb is a little smaller and less pink and the other chicks are other breeds, so developing at different rates and obviously look different.

I've gone back and forth a couple of times on whether this is a girl or a boy because of how fast they got HUGE feet and now their comb is getting pretty pink and the waddles are starting to pink up and become more obvious too. Hatch date was 3/11 so they'll be 5 weeks tomorrow.

First 2 pics taken indoors are from today, second 2 taken outdoors were taken a week ago at 4 weeks.
