4 weeks old. She has a more prominent comb and waddles than the others. I’m thinking she may be a rooster. Thoughts??

S/he is either a Plymouth rock or a Silver Cuckoo Maran. I cannot tell them apart yet.

Cuckoo Marans should have white feet.
Barred Plymouth Rock (or any other color Plymouth Rock) should have yellow feet.

I see yellow feet in the photo, so probably Barred Rock.

Or possibly Black Sexlink, usually created by crossing a Barred Rock hen with a Rhode Island Red Rooster. If he starts getting red feathers as he grows up, then he's a Black Sexlink. If he stays black & white with no other colors, then Barred Rock.

Thanks for the info. I ordered Cuckoo Marans and Plymouth Rocks. They look completely the same. All of their feet are yellow still with some black "striping" on them.
