BCM Chick, Cockeral or Pullet?

[Stef82]

This is a 5 and a half week old Black Copper Marans chick. I'm leaning towards a male. I have another BCM, but it's comb is much more smaller and pea comb like.




What does everyone else think?

Cockerel I think

 

[EEBLACKCOPPERMARAN]

Its maybe a male. When I had BCMs I thought most of them were roosters (I think due to comb size) but a lot of them turned out to be hens.

I would go with pullet...Though of course I could be wrong..

Side pics would help

Here is the same chick at 8 weeks old. The comb isn't red. Staying a pale color.

Looks like a roo. Nice big red comb.

has a large comb, but skinny legs. i'd go with pullet.

Yes it does have skinny legs. The comb is large, but it's still pale. Not bright red
