Gender Bender. What am i? (Cuckoo Maran x Blue Laced Wyandotte chick)

[krants]

I got this little beauty yesterday from a local family ran hatchery and was told it is a Blue Maran (cuckoo maran/blue laced wyandotte mix). They had the boys and girls all in one brooder so I am unsure on the gender. Hoping for a pullet.

Not dead, sleeping lol.

If anyone could give me a possibility of what gender I would be grateful.

Also I know it is mix but is there such a thing as just a Blue Marans? This chick to me more closely resembles the black copper marans.

Fine legs and that tail growing in nicely already says girly-girl to me

There is a such thing as a blue marans. They dont always breed true. They can be blue, black or splash depending on if it is a blue x blue, bluex black, blue x splash etc. So for example, I got some blue marans eggs and some hatched out blue and some hatched out black. It is hard to sex blue, black or black coppers when they are young. I am still guessing at a few of my 4 and 6 weeks olds lol.

Hmm. I was thinking roo so I hope I'm wrong.
p.s. how did you get that little darling to sleep in your hand like that? So cute

It gives stink eye like a roo, but it could be a feisty pullet.

Honestly, my wife just picked her p and turned her over to look at her belly and her little head started drifting to sleep haha.
