Black Copper Maran Hen or Roo?

[dl9976]

I got 4 black copper marans for my birthday on 6-25 and they were about 2 weeks old then (person wasnt sure). So I am guessing they are right at 6 weeks old. I would so appreciate any opinions Thanks!!

1 and 2 look like cockerels. re-post when they are between 10-15 weeks of age by that time any cockerels should have the copper color coming in on the wings...right now only one appears to be a french black copper marans the others look like black marans

1 and 2 foresure are roos, but the 3rd is throwing me off, comb kinda hen-ish , but it's throwing a roo vibe
