Rooster?

I have a young Blue Copper Maran, several weeks old. I thought she was a girl, but then I saw some black on her tail. Her tail is also sort of long-ish. Is she instead a roo?

She looks more like a pullet to me. Can you send a clearer picture?

Looks like a pullet so far. The tail doesn’t mean anything when sexing. At least not when they’re this young.

How many weeks exactly? Tail feathers on males show up around 12 weeks, but they usually look different when they do show up.

I’m not sure which pic you meant, so I showed a clearer one of both.

Almost 9 weeks.
