Cuckoo Maran - pullet or roo?

[JBirdy]

Hello,

Posting once again about another of our "sexed" pullets - a cuckoo maran. We purchased her at around 4 weeks (which makes her now close to six weeks). These waddles are concerning me!? I'll get another picture of her body...it's very dark all over, unlike a usual cuckoo maran male. They promised me that she was female, as we aren't allowed roosters in our town. Now, I'm concerned about most of the chicks we've purchased. It's so frustrating! Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

The Comb does not look concerning at this point *but the color is. Sorry I really can't help much I also for a cuckoo as a sexed pullet that turned out to be male

Are you able to take a better picture of the comb?

Looks like a pullet to me.

That's frustrating! I thought I was making a good choice in buying older, sexed pullets but I'm not so sure now.

Just give it time, it could still surprise you

So i finally looked away the new pictures and the comb does not indicate male at all at this point, also though my cockerel is darker like a female also yours is much darker in color then mine. I'm crossing my fingers four you that it is simply an early developing female...
