French Black Copper Maran, ordered as Pullet, looks like Cockerel. Would like your opinions please?!

3 weeks old.

It’s still pretty young, but at only 3 weeks, that comb and wattles indicate cockerel.

That's what I was thinking. The hatchery said to update them at 10-22 weeks of age before to fully determine it's sex so they can replace my accidental cockerel.

Oh yeah, my welsummer "pullet" I also ordered is looking like a cockerel. It's growing in black breast feathers, females are supposed to feather out with a dark salmon colored breast feathers.
Will get a picture of that chick today.

Just wanna confirm my suspicions.

Well my FBCM tend to have big combs from early age

These blue coppers are about 5 weeks ,the only male is at the right you can see already the copper at the neck ,their mother had a comb that made me think she was male until 3 months old.
So my answer is depends the line.

I'm gonna give it about 7 more weeks before I know for sure.

Here's the welsummer who looks very much like a male due to the black breast feathers coming in.
