French Black Copper maran 7 weeks pullet?!

[Slcbirdlady]

Hi! Newbie chicken mama here.
I have a lovely French black Copper maran and I’m starting to wonder if she could be a cockerel. Her name is Eleanor and we adore her, so I’m hoping she’s a pullet!

She is 7.5 weeks, and her feet are quite massive. I already discovered one of my other girls is a Roo, and now I’m paranoid

Not an expert like some others here, but I'm guessing pullet at that age.. comb seems quite small yet. The copper on its back could still be hatch down feathers that will molt out.

Very pretty bird, hope you can keep it.

That's a pullet.

The French Black Copper Marans have very large combs, even at a young age. That is definitely a pullet. If she was a different breed, say Orpington, who have smaller combs, then I'd think cockerel.

Sorry, I just sell locally in Michigan.
You could start a new thread in the for sale section and your state thread. Or do a search for breeders near you.

In comparison to my 7 week old chick, I’d say she’s definitely a pullet. It’s looking like I have a cockerel on my hands.
