My Cuckoo Marans is the bird in question, (bottom right).
Between 16 and 21 weeks old. The bird does not seem to be that high in the pecking order (all my birds get along well usually) but this Marans is usually the first bird to chase off the cats if they start going around the coop.

2 months ago most thought roo

5 weeks ago most said pullet

Today I'm just not sure, any help is appreciated.

Cockerel. No question.

The cuckoo marans is definitely a cockerel. Absolutely no doubt, 100% sure.

I agree, it's definitely a cockerel. Seeing that sequence of photos of it's development is really interesting. It's just hard to believe that that middle photo is the same bird. As you say it is clearly male 2 months ago and then 3 weeks later, it really does look like a pullet, but those hackle feathers in the current photo coupled with the very light barring and sickle feathers growing in and the lean mean look of it mean it can't be denied any longer.

Thank you for the reaponses. Although I was hoping pullet, I really started believing roo and needed others to help confirm it.
I appreciate the help and all your shared knowledge....

Previously, 1 member of the forum thought my Lavender Orpington Might be a Cockerel.
Now at 23 weeks old, I just took a few more pics.
