There is not a electic fence that your going to get a hold of that will keep a bear out. Get rid of the bear. A black bear killed a pig in a field in VA last week. That bear is now dead
Crested are always harder to tell. But the blue based one looks like a cockerel. The lighter one a pullet. The none crested both look like cockerels. I do raise them, but I would wait intill seven weeks before making a real judgment.
