Please tell me I still have a chance for atleast one of these marans to be a pullet! Almost 5 weeks old.
First pic is of our for-sure cockerel who was hatched the same time as the others around 3/25.

Iā€™m not an expert but number 2 definitely looks female. Numbers 3 and 4 I would lean female based on comb being much smaller than the male. But not totally sure since they are getting red. I donā€™t know when marans usually get color in combs and wattles. (I have silkies)

Thank you! You give me hope šŸ˜…
The cockerel was SO obvious around 2&3 weeks but the other three have me stumped!
 
Just over 5 weeks now šŸ«£ thoughts?

Ok after weeks of deliberations Iā€™m fairly confident that I have one cockerel and three pullets šŸ¤—ā¤ļø the cockerel is the forest egger that I suspected weeks ago (you can see him in the first pic above the splash) and the two splash Marans and one blue Marans are pullets.

Iā€™ll continue to post updated pics in case anyone ever finds themselves in the same long wait as me of finding out if their chick is a roo or pullet! I think theyā€™re a few days away from 7 weeks old.
