Blue Cuckoo Maran: Hen or Roo?

[royalflusherz]

Hoping my 8 week old Blue Cuckoo Marin is hen but looking for another opinion. She is just so much larger than my other chicks I bought at the same time and she is aggressive amongst the other chicks.

A pullet wouldn't have that size of a comb or wattles that big at 8 weeks. Definite cockerel. Sorry for the bad news.

Agreed

Cockerel for sure.

I also believe it’s a cockerel. Here is my Blue Cuckoo Marans pullet at the same age, to compare:


Her comb only started turning pink at around 10 weeks old.
