Black Copper Maran, Cockerel?

[Hazyhens]

Still holding out hope for this one. My gut says cockerel but just wanted another second opinion from someone who knows the breed a little better than myself. He/she is 7 weeks old.

I would say pullet.

Yes, the comb may be a little large but it’s not particularly bright in color so I’m going to go with pullet.

That’s a slow maturing roo it you look at the tail feathers in the last pick those aren’t pullet feathers.

Tails don't mean anything at this age.

I'm on the fence. Please post updated pics in 2 weeks.

I'm leaning towards cockerel.

Agreed. Plus, they're just damaged feathers so even if you could tell anything (which you can't) damaged feathers don't prove anything. 2-3 weeks should be enough

Cockerel. The comb and wattles both are large and pink. At 7 weeks, which is very early.

I’ve had both. Some that matured late, some that matured at 4 weeks. Will have to wait on this one.
