I was dead sure it was a she but now I'm not so sure. She is the broadest of the group at around 8 weeks old. Recently her voice has changed a little bit, but her comb is still significantly smaller than my blue copper maran "roo"















 
Here is our other black copper maran that is maybe a week younger than the other for comparison. Pretty sure this is a pullet.







 
I'm going to say pullet. My BCM roo had way more red on him and had some bright copper feathers coming out around the neck at this time. She also has the right body type :)

EDIT: Had to fix it, accidentally said roo aha

I was just about to post on black copper marans.
I am thinking I have two boys and two girls.
They are 6 weeks old, the one ducking his head looks just like the one with the big comb.
I was thinking the ones with very little comb were girls (the ones on the far right and far left in the picture)
We can't have roosters so looking to sex them soon, before I put them outside.
Any thoughts are warmly welcomed!!!!
Thanks
 
how many other cockerels are in with it? depending on the number of birds in the pen it cold be slow to develop but it is looking like a pullet though
