Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or A Cockerel? Click Here!

I have a 12 week old Cuckoo Marans I am hoping to identify gender on. It is not an aggressive bird, like some of the others I have positively identified as cockerels. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If that is a cuckoo marans then I am guessing rooster because the hens have way more black.

To me that blue looks a lot like my blue Ameraucana.  It also has slate coloured legs with is an Ameraucana trait.  Orpingtons have white legs.  With the Ameraucana's or EE's, a single row of peas is a pullet, while 3 rows is a cockerel.  They take longer to be sure.  If you can post a better picture of its head, I would have a better chance.  The lav orp looks like a pullet.

Here is a better pic of the comb

roo, I believe

What breed is the middle one? I have a chick that looks exactly like it. I'm hoping it's a hen!

Roo or hen? Mom is BR & father is mixed breed. I'll try to attach a pic of the father too.

This little Black Australorp had us worried at 4 weeks when a red comb sprouted and red patches were visible where wattles would be.

4 weeks

But now at almost 6 weeks, things have paled and it almost has us thinking pullet

Since the mother is barred and the dad is not I believe you made a black sexlink, so that means the chick is a boy since he is barred.

Thank you BaileyMChicks, now I will have to sit and wait Do you know if the roosters start crowing as late as the hens start laying? I have heard they are a little slow, but I have never had them before.
