~4wk Blue Copper Marans Gender?

[MD]

I’ve got two blue copper marans in my brood, about 4-5weeks. I’m pretty confident the lighter one (I’ve added as reference at the bottom) is pullet, but I’m thinking this sweetheart might be a roo. No aggressive behavior, very friendly, but the difference in comb and wattles between the two is pretty condemning. I’m holding out hope though because one of my BCM’s a couple years back fooled me right up until I almost got rid of her. Thoughts? Am I deluding myself?

Here is the lighter, more definite pullet.

I Think you are right! Very pretty chicks, too.

I think you're right as well. I really enjoyed having a black copper maran as my last roo. Yours will be lovely.

Hi, I don't know about the gender, but I love your chickens! My marans are six weeks old now and I can't believe they grew so fast!
