Black Copper Marans hen or Roo?!

Hen or Roo you know what to do!
I thought she was a hen but now not 100% I already have 3 roos to 4 hens so will have to dispatch a couple for the table.

Looks like a beautiful female to me.
How old?

Ya, how old?
Also thinking pullet. With that much copper in the hackles I'd expect to see some on the body if it was a male even a young one.

Also guessing at a female. She's beautiful.

She’s around 23 weeks old. Although not expecting any eggs from her for at least another 10 weeks, maybe even next spring now.

Oh my gosh, looks just like my little alpha hen Cookie! She's a cuddlebug and my best layer too, literally just took this to upload it here!

Looks like a hen to me. Usually the males have more copper in their head and saddle feathers
