Splash marans: pullet or cockerel?

[Carlajohnson]

I have a splash marans that is almost 5 weeks old and I'm not positive if it's male or female. This is my first batch of chickens and I'm still learning their characteristics at a young age. There are 10 total and I have 2 FBCM that are clearly young roos (stance, larger more red comb) but this one seems harder for me to sex. I see the comb developing but it's not as large as the other males and isn't displaying any rooster-like behaviors yet. Late bloomer or possibly a hen?

Looks like a pullet. Give it a couple of weeks to be sure. That comb should stay yellow orange for a few weeks yet if pullet.

Looks like a pullet to me.

Where did you get him? Yours is not splash or a Marans since it doesnt have feathered legs.

It does appear to be a pullet.

Oh... gotcha. He’s from a bantam bin. TSC trap....

I'm not sure of breed...if you post a new thread with pics there are several posters who can ID bantams quickly!
