Cuckoo Maran Cockerel?

[chickiechickiebawkbawk]

hi, I posted about accidentally getting a feather legged Maran a few days ago (first photo) and someone guessed Cuckoo Cockerel. Here are some new photos. Does anyone know for sure? I think it's a pullet since I haven't seen much wattle growth. They are a month old today.

Also, It is much smaller than the other chicks from that farm store batch (Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, Gooden Comets) and taking a long time to get feathers. It was chewing at its' chest and under a wing the last two days but seems to be recovering.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Very new to this. peace

Thanks I saw that. There also seems to be a variety of Cuckoo Maran that is feather legged according to Youtube/Cackle Hatchery I believe. Hard to tell the difference.

French cuckoo Marans I have two, also it’s a cockerel French standard requires feather legged like English do u.s no feathered legs

I don't know about the breed, but if he is a month old, that is a cockerel.

Yes those are cockerels!

ok thanks, I want my $2.89 back! Haha, I already have accidental roos.
Do you think he is a Cuckoo Maran feather leg variety or a French Black Copper Maran?

10 weeks pullet for comparison

Here he is at 8 weeks old. He's smaller than everyone else from his flock but very feisty. Also aloof. I put an add for him for free on CL last week, no takers yet. Wish I could keep him, his legs are cute. He loves his lady friends and they all snuggle together.

French copper Marans are feather legged.
