I would say it would be when a pullet becomes a hen and a cockerel is a rooster at 1 year
but not sure

Look at that breed type, wow!The flat back and prominent breast. Wow!

Hi !

What are you working on? Columbian Marans? Need much better and closer pics for viewers
to tell sex. One thing you can do is check the hackle feathers. Thecockerls will have pointed
ends on their hackle feathers. The pullets will have rounded ends on their hackle feathers.
Best,
Karen
