Black Copper Maran Pullet or Rooster, 4 weeks

[backyardchicks]

I have 3 Black Copper Maran 4 week old baby chicks that I all three look similar and am wondering if it is a pullet or a rooster. I am attaching a photo of one of them. These photos are of just one chick. This one is so docile and friendly. She/he walks right up to me when I walk in the coop and lays at my feet! If you have any photos of your BCM about the same age can you post a photo of it so I have something to compare it to?

Here you go! This is a Blue Copper Marans cockerel at 4.5 weeks.

Ok! His comb looks bigger than mine right now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it is a pullet!

Repost pic at 6 - 8wks .... Lack of comb & color guessing pullet but one thing is for sure CUTIE

I wish I had pictures of my BCMs at 4 weeks to share with you....but alas, I wasn't too snap happy when they were small.

No features on your cute baby are outright cockerel as of now.

Here's mine when he was 3 days shy of 4 weeks. The girl beside him kept me doubting she was a girl for the longest time because of how slow she was to develop. She lays closer to and 8.

I know what mine are knew back then too. In fact had a pretty solid idea before 3 weeks. Some folks can tell at days old. In the case of the chicks I posted for reference for OP, a seasoned BCM breeder on this forum correctly called gender on all 4 of mine when they were 4 days old.
