I know it might be too early to tell but I'd love some input! The comb seems quite developed so I'm leaning roo but I've never had a marsbar before so I don't know what's typical.

Was cock/erel a Black Copper Marans(Marans always has the 's' at end)?
If so, the white head spots on chicks are males, you can tell once they dry off after hatching. How old is chick in pic? ....definitely a male.

I just find it very helpful to use the proper terminology.

Agrees.
Semantics, maybe, but can be important communication terms when discussing chicken behavior.
Female chickens are called pullets until one year of age, then they are called hens.
Male chickens are called cockerels until one year of age, then they are called cocks(or cockbirds or roosters).
Age in weeks or months is always a good thing to note.

Cockerel for sure.

Not sure which parent was which as we got them from a breeder but that's good to know for the future! Also I will remember about it being Marans and not Maran, I learnt something today.

I agree, I'm thinking it's a cockerel
