13 week old marans boy or girl?

I have a pullet same age, looks the same.

I think you would be seeing more brown going on in the back if it were male. Hope she didn't want a rooster!

Thanks. She did not want a rooster. She already had that surprise in her pair of polish birds. She is happy to have a girl!

I still say cockerel.

Nope bet it lays a egg first.

Time will tell, I suppose, but what are you seeing?

To me, the comb and wattles look big for a hen. And the colors and the way the tail feathers are growing just seems more rooster like to me.

I see MSF coming in on the wings, so male.

 

[Saveria]

I agree that looks suspicious, but I thought there would have been a lot more of it at 13 weeks.

Having only had Cuckoos, I'm guessing pullet, but am willing be wrong. The comb and wattles are a bit large, but by 13 weeks I would think the neck and hackle feathers would be more obvious on a cockerel.
