Black copper marans- r these both Roos???

[memchick]

Hi! I am new to byc and chickens in general and have raised 7 chickens from Chicks. They r 3 mos old now. 3 are EE and on another thread all are Roos apparently. 2 are black copper marans, and one is definitely a rooster bc he crows non stop!! The other hasn't until yesterday ;(. I am posting some pics of the 2 of them, but would anyone know for sure if she is a he? I've got to get rid of them ASAP if so! (City rules and all...)

Above is my constant crower..

Above I think is the potential girl?

Above- the one in foreground is potential hen and just slightly smaller comb and wattle and body.

Above- smaller one on left

both cockerels

when 2 or more cockerels are raised together usually the Alphs male will be the only crower

the other wont crow

crowing is a sign on dominance

Thank you all for your help. I know, they r really pretty, i hate that Now I'll have to get rid of these Roosters! Would it be terrible to find someone to process them? Now to figure that out...

Well it would be a shame to process this type of breed :/ If they are from a breeder I'm sure you could probably find a person wanting to buy them!

I'm with questions543. I wouldn't process Black Copper Marans. With the buzz this breed/color is getting right now, those boys are worth more crowing than sitting in the crock pot.

I'd post them here on they BYC Buy-Sell-Trade thread, and also on Craigslist. I'd think you could easily get at least $10 each for them--more if they are breeder birds.

I have posted to craigslist, but as i am new i don't seem to have enough posts to post on BYC. They are from a chicken breeder who is also on BYC so they are from a good line!! Thanks for your help BYCers!

K, I just listed them for $10 on craigslist... we will see if there are any takers!
