Sexing Wheaten Marans

[mvvs]

It seems like every day I have questions about the one below but am definitely leaning towards roo. His? sister is pictured in the last 2 photos (theoretically similar ages though the one I think is a roo - first two photos, was smaller and had lighter wing feathers when I got them at approximately one week of age).

Based on the time line from the breeder they should be about 4.5 weeks old. Is there a chance that the one is a clay pullet? Parents supposedly purebred and from good lines. (the hen in the background was just a foster mom.)

Well i am not sure what a clay pullet is, color me a moron if needed, lol. But the top one is looking a lot like rooster and they are both looking like they will grow up into marvelous chooks!

aint heard of a clay pullet either but in wheaten colored birds, males get black chest feathers not females
