Is This A Cuckoo Maran Pullet?

Help! I have the same question. I have a four-week old cuckoo maran that was sold as a pullet, but I now suspect it could be a cockerel based on how light the feathers are coming in. Can anyone help? Is this is a rooster?

I'm still a newbie but... my Cuckoo Marans does not have feathered feet so I don't think this is what you have. May be some kind of Cochin or Brahma?? Again - newbie here... see what others say.
As far as pullet or cockerel ... no idea. Sorry

Marans should have feathers on their legs. Some American cuckoo lines are clean legged though.

However, I agree that this is not a Marans at all. I think this is a Silver Laced Brahma. Beautiful birds.
