French copper maran sex

[Canadianfarmgirl]

I have a 8 week old FCM, that I thought was a hen but now I'm second guessing myself. I had 2 others from that hatch that already had significant copper colouring to them and this one is still solid black, but the comb has me confused. Any help would be appreciated.

8 weeks old? That's a cockerel.

Ok, why would it not have the copper color like the other 2 did? It is solid black

Some cockerels remain solid black, and others get the copper feathering later.

I agree with @sourland
