BCM Sex??

[audrey02026]

What do you think Roo or Pullet? The only BCM that hatched. My luck probably a roo. It's 4 weeks old in this picture.

Actually help on breed would be nice as well. The egg it came out of was supposed to be a blue copper Marans. But since it's not blue I am assuming its a BCM. I could be wrong. I noticed online that everyones BCM's have orange combs and mine has a black comb...anyone know why??

Looking at the color starting to come in on his shoulder, it's a cockerel.

its completely wrong for any type of marans. marans have white legs, and pale combs to start with. they arent supposed to be black like that (comb and legs).

So what do you think the hatchery sent me? Like I said they labeled them blue copper marans. I know absolutely nothing about marans. Also do you think it's a cockerel?

The comb is quite developed for a BCM. But that color seems all wrong for a Marans.

i agree there to the color is off as well...my best guess would be a black sex link...but i could be wrong there...it also lacks feathered shanks (although there are bcm, french standared, that dont have feathered legs)
