How old is it? The pics aren't clear enough for me to see if there are any saddle/hackle feathers. If it's older, it's likely a hen, but if it's less than 3 mos old, it's probably a roo.
 
If it's like 5 months old or better, it's a girl. If it's still quite young, that's a boy.

But that pointy little tail feather in the first photo makes me say young male.
 
5 months? I think it's a pullet then!

But I am not experienced with marans. But I also don't know of any breeds that don't have some rooster tail feathers by 5 mos!
