So I have 2 13 1/2 week old Blue Copper Marans left from my hatch .... I got rid of the boys and was left with 2 girls.... Well I am starting to suspect that one of these is not like the other!! The darker grey one has much bigger wattles and comb which are also redder then the other hatch mates.... So here are a few pictures and hopefully you can all help me tell if it is really a he who was pretending to be a girl until now.....

Here is the lighter BCM for comparison .... You will see smaller comb and Barely any wattles.....





And now the Suspect Chicken.......








So well what do you all think???? Thanks!!!!
 
i'm leaning towards it being a pullet. it might have a bigger comb and bigger wattles but they aren't really that red at all in fact they both seem to have the same comb coloring in these pics
 
I would say both pullets as well, if she was as cockerel there would be a lot more ginger on the top of the head at that age
 
Ok I guess I am just paranoid as one of my "girl" silkies sprouted a comb & wattles overnight! I now expect all of my hens to only be masquerading as hens
