Black Copper Marans sexing impatience :) (Pictures)

So it’s been 1 week since my original post, here is how they are developing so far, with the revelation that number one is a cuckoo Marans lol. Their combs are starting to grow, and 1 and 4 are just starting to grow in their tail feathers, lots of wing feathers, and they are much harder to get a still picture of because they’re always moving unlike last time

Well here’s to week number 3! I’ve heard that week number three should be the week where the sexes should become apparent but I’m still struggling with two of them.... 3 is definitely a cockerel, and 4 is definitely a pullet. Number one is a cuckoo Marans, if it were a BCM I would have guessed a cockerel due to the size of its comb but I’ve heard that there is a pattern to look for to tell the male and female cuckoos apart, females will have less barring than the male. But because I have nothing to compare it with I’m clueless lol so if anyone has an idea I would love to hear! 2 is also not a sure thing I’ve gone back-and-forth in my head a couple times because it’s comb is larger than 4 but smaller than 3 so I’m left kind of wondering
