I have 4 remaining black copper marans chicks that I hatched from purchased eggs. At 4 weeks old my brooder became overcrowded and the chicks started pulling each other’s feathers out. So I re homed 6 birds to give the ones I was keeping more room.

I kept what I thought was 2 pullets and 2 cockerels. Now one of my pullets is starting to pink up and grow little pink wattles. Not nearly like the 2 for sure cockerels but enough to concern me. Any opinions are welcome closeups are the two hopefully pullets. I didn’t bother getting a closeup of the cockerels. Their easy enough to see from a mile away

I would suggest you to not worry about your pullet, she does not look as obviously suspicious as the cockerels. She has very little development in her comb and wattles compared to them.
