Hello again folks. Recently added 2 Black Copper Maran chicks to our flock as company for a GLW mix cockerel (I don’t really want to mix him in with my silkies). Hoping one is a hen... They are almost 8 weeks old. I’m thinking #1 is a roo based on the copper coming in on the neck but not familiar with the breed so any insight would be appreciated!

Hey there! I think they are both cockerels as well. Ive attached pictures of my copper Marans at 8 weeks and just now (almost 11 weeks) for your reference. I had the same question and post almost 3 weeks ago, and I’ve learned that the cockerel combs turn red and grow super fast, starting at 5ish weeks!


8 weeks
