6 week old EE is a cockerel, yes?

At first when this chick started feathering quickly in, in this pattern, I thought it might be a girl. Nothing about it's behaviour says male but now the pattern is looking more male (chopped up, redder areas on wings, dark hackles and light neck/breast). And the real kicker, the comb that started plumping up at 4 weeks...

Are we 100% male?

Fun part is - that was the *least* obviously male of the three Marans I hatched. The others had huge combs at 2 weeks

I agree, I'm thinking that's most likely a cockerel
