    12week old Cuckoo Maran hen or rooster?

    Here is the Cuckoo Maran at 13 weeks. He’s way bigger than his age mates now and they still don’t have combs and wattles

    12week old Cuckoo Maran hen or rooster?

    I will look into that. Forgot I also called every vet between Eugene and Portland to list on their bulletin boards and some of their office staff volunteered to call around. They reported back to me no takers.

    12week old Cuckoo Maran hen or rooster?

    12week old Cuckoo Maran hen or rooster?

    I know hens can crow. My very old birds tend to be the ones attempting it but they sound like they’re being strangled when they do that. Olivia’s crow is a definite crow

It woke me so could wake my neighbors. This is a bird that still peeps. I put a listing on Craigslist for...

    12week old Cuckoo Maran hen or rooster?

    Thank you, the diverse views reinforces the need for me to wait longer. She doesn’t play fight and as of now is not at all aggressive toward the other 12 week old (Black Copper Maran) or the 3 ten week olds ( mixed breeds). They are of course not with but rather alongside of the old girls.
