Hen or Roo - 5 week old Black Copper Maran

[gardenrue7]

5 weeks old now and still confusing us a little bit. She’s starting some pink in her wattles, but her comb is still pale yellow. She seems to be the bossiest of the flock, is this a rooster trait? This is our first time with chickens, so trying to watch and learn as we go!

Im thinking pullet. As Marans usually have larger wattles and a comb by 5 weeks.
