Pullet or cockerel? Please help! (Pics)

[Bean15]

Here is my Copper Maran chick at 7 weeks old, I'm having a super hard time sexing her/him. I first I thought I had a hen, but then she became more vocal and her tail feathers were looking slightly pointed. I have experience with marans however, and I remember one of my Midnight Majesty Maran hens also being very vocal at this age. Now I'm leaning towards pullet, she has a more defined breastbone which isn't as prominent in the chick I know is a cockrell. (he's a Barred Rock) She holds a stance like a hen, and runs away from my hand with the other chicks, as opposed to my cockrell who will go after anything. As you can see from the pics, she has a small pale comb, and I can't even see the smallest trace of red. Any ideas? I really hope it's a pullet.

(I'm able to provide more pictures if more are needed)

I think it is a pullet. A cockerel would have a much bigger comb by 7 weeks.

What about the tail? the feathers are somewhat pointed. Don't Copper Maran pullets get copper-colored feathers by now?

The shape of tail feathers do not indicate gender. The shape of the saddle and hackle feathers do. Male specific saddle feathers do not appear until much later.

Your chick still has down and has yet to molt. I don't think it would be unusual to not see any copper yet.

Mine's a cockerel, & got copper color in the neck feathers at 6 weeks of age, here he is at 4 weeks old, I don't have any updated pictures of him yet.

Well hopefully I have a pullet then. at 4 weeks mine also carried herself much lower, not standing so upright as yours did. she definitely has more body than leg.

this gives me a little hope, I'm crossing my fingers that I have a little hen

Your's does look like a pullet.
I ordered mine as a pullet, but got a cockerel by mistake, same with my Welsummer.
