Maran Pullets, Cockarels, one of each?

These two are 10 weeks old This coming Weds. I've gone back and forth. I thought both were Roos, but now I'm not so sure. I have no experience with Marans.

I'm hoping maybe this is a Pullet

This one has features similar to my Splash Cockeral the same age.

I'm on my phone so I can't see detail that great but with those big combs and wattles at 10 weeks, I'm voting both are roosters.

Can you get a better face shot of the first one?

from what I can see they both look like cockerels, but better pictures would help

This took a bit of time, very camera shy chicken.

The reason I wondered if it could be a Pullet is the comb is much smaller and pale pink compared to the ones I'm sure are Roos.

The tail is shorter and doesn't curl downward.

Of course I'm hoping by some miracle to have more than 1/4 Pullets, lol.

i'm leaning towards cockerel. Thats a lot of comb and wattle for the age plus reddness

Oh well, guess one Splash Pullet is better than no Pullets. Thanks!

I would keep them a little while longer just to be 110% positive

 

[JennH6]

I'm planning on it, just to be sure. I've learned with nature, their can be exceptions to the rule.

I think they are both cockerels.
