At 3 weeks old these little French Cuckoo Marans have become my hope for getting a cockerel since the 4, straight run black-split-to-lavender chicks all seem to be definitely pullets. They both have quite large white spots on their head and the blue-banded one has a certain boldness of manner.
But should they be significantly lighter if they're male?
