Black Copper Maran Chick

[Vivalakelc]

Hey! Got this chick 4 weeks ago and it was a few days old at the time, so likely about 4.5 - 5 weeks old. Hoping for a pullet since I can't have roos, and this chick has such a fun personality! Always jumps on my head when I open the crate to say hi and just sits there. Legs kinda look thick, though this is my first time owning chicks so I don't really know compared to what and I see a tinnnyyyy bit of copper on a few feather tips on the back, which I think I heard was a roo straight, but the comb is still small and no coloring to it. Would love any opinions while we wait to see!

Pullet.
The color on the back is just some coloring of the juvenile plumage.

Black Copper Marans pullets have copper/red in hackles too.
