Pullet or cockerel? 11week old splash maran

[Backyardchucks]

We were got this little 11 week old chicken as a companion for another 11 week old copper maran as she was very with drawn as older hens were bullying her. The Breeder thought it was a pullet but not 100%. The two get on brilliantly and the copper maran is now happy, but if this chicken is a cockerel not a pullet we can’t keep him due to where we live

Welcome to BYC! That's great they get along!!! I haven't had any marans, but I would think that if it were a boy he'd be crowing by that age. I'm guessing pullet. Good luck, keep us updated.

I have 3 Marans. This one is a pullet. They are the noisiest birds in my flock.

Thank you… the chicken is now 13 weeks. Comb is bigger now. No crowing. Unsure of sex as tail feathers are curving
