Can someone tell the gender of this cuckoo marans? Chicken is about 16 weeks old.

Sorry about the huge picture. The chicken is now 20 weeks and it still has not crowed and it's comb and wattles has not grown much more than what you see in this photo. I am hoping it is a pullet and I guess eventually I would know once it layed an egg as it is the only marans I have. Oh by the way as I wrote in a previous post about this chicken it is really really big. Much bigger than two other dominiques chickens that are supposedly the same age.

Can't see any saddle or hackle feathers at 16 weeks, so looks like a pullet to me.

looks like a pullet.

Thanks! I seem have a problem wrapping my head around the whole hackle saddle feather thing. It does have one tail feather that has recently come in that has a pretty strong curve to it. Does that indicate anything?

 

[Tricoglossus]

Maybe, but it would be easier to tell if you put up a new photo!

Okay. I am busy pulling weeds out of my garden right now so I will try to get that done ASAP. Hope you keep checking cause I really would like to know. Thanks.

Looks girly.

Here are pictures I took today. I also added one of a dominique that I was sold as a rooster, but no crowing and not much lighter than another that I was sold as pullet.

Bumping. I am really curious as to pullets or cockerel.
