Cuckoo Marans - Gender

[bowen012]

Just looking for input on the gender of my (Meyer) Marans. Ordered as a pullet but it's turned into a pretty large bird. Photos aren't the best (via cell phone) and I can grab some more later with my camera. Shown in these photos beside a Meyer Meal Maker (RIR?), Faverolles roosters, and my White Plymouth Rock (whose gender I also question and will get photos up later).









Rooster/Hen?

Looks like a hen but I would need better pictures to be sure.

Female.

 

[RoostersCrow HensDeliver!]

I agree, a male bird would be much lighter colored .

 

[Wyandottes7]

Female for sure.

 

[WalkingOnSunshine]

Female. Marans are BIG birds, especially compared to a production red.

Nice pullet!
