This is my 6 week old maran that I bought as a pullet. She's throwing me for a loop. The comb is straight, not arched, and hardly any pink. I cant find definitive answers looking online and on here even because they all develop so different. I guess I'm worried because I can't have a roo and she is the sweetest of my new chicks. Im getting super attached, and I would hate to have to rehome her if she's a he. She doesn't participate in the squabbles amongst the babies either and she's smaller than my other breeds in the same brooder but she's my only maran so I can't compare her to anyone else really.

She's a pullet. Also Barred Rock not Marans. Legs/feet are yellow.

I wouldn't mind if the breed was wrong at this point because i love her already, but her feet are pretty pale. I'm not sure the pictures show them properly. Either way, thank you!

She may very well be a Maran (a cuckoo Maran :-))
