Marans-boy or girl?

[JenaRN]

I am thinking this is a boy, but I honestly have no experience with this so I wanted to ask you all!

We call him/her Cocoa

I think Cocoa is a girl as the waddles are not showing and the comb is pale.

That would be awesome! I was hoping it was a girl! I can't keep Roos and this is the only Marans I got so I really want to keep her. Yay!! Thank you!

That's one of the reasons I thought she may be a boy. Her legs are VERY thick!

I'm not sure how old they are, I am thinking around 6-ish weeks? I forgot to ask the lady I bought them from because I originally was going to buy some 2 week old chicks but spotted these older ones and got 6 of them. One of them died the first night, it was a tiny little runt Buff Orp
