2-week old Black Copper Maran's posture looks like a rooster

[Goodfolk]

Not a bother at all. Hard to comment on what we can’t see. I raise Black Copper Marans so I’m very familiar with them. I don’t judge by posture because some little pullets can be very bossy.

I look at combs / wattles, beaks and leg /foot size. At 2 weeks a young cockerels comb / wattles will start to turn pink, legs/feet will be larger than a pullet. Pullets will have a black beak whereas Cockerels can have either a horn color or black beak. By 4 weeks old it should be obvious who is male and female.

So by four weeks, if they don’t have a black beak, it cannot be a female?
