I got her/him at 2 days old. Was all black, tiny spot on head, black legs, and had 2 layers of wing feathers, said she was sexed in the egg as a pullet. By a week was showing more white as feathers grew in. Now 3. 5 weeks old will be 4 on Tuesday, and now scared I have a roo. The legs are still dark, same size as my others, but this comb is growing. I was supposed to get 2 BR pullets in March from the tractor store they both were boys. So I tried again from a company who swears they are all sexed before hatch and that they only sold pullets. I loved my BR roos but had to give them up as I cant have them. Do I now have another roo? Maybe this breed is not good luck for me.....

Chicks can’t be sexed in the egg. They can be sexed just out of the egg.
It is likely a Cuckoo Marans. Pink/gray legs.
It is a boy. I do not have doubts.
