Black Sex Link (Help me confirm we have a rooster)

[MysteryChicken]

Midnight majesty marans cockerels would be barred. It’s a sex linked marans cross- cuckoo marans hen x black copper marans rooster.

It is too? I didn't realize that.

Well unfortunately just after this post a local humane society officer showed up at our house after a neighbor issued a noise complaint. We chose to surrender the two cockerels to them as they do well in our area at rehoming them. We were able to get these two 6 week old pullets. We have the coop separated so they are not with our other 6 chickens. We are slowly introducing them as our flock has been pretty feisty as they try to determine the new pecking order. How old does everyone expect they should be before trusting them with the older chickens that are roughly 3mo old?

They can probably go with the 3 month olds right now. Though the speckled sussex in front looks like a possible cockerel.

Thanks for the reply! Our local feed store was pretty confident in the 6 week old pullets vs cockerels. They had around 30 6 week old chicks and had the cockerels clearly identified and listed. Hopefully it doesn't turn out that the speckled sussex is a cockerel! The other one is a partridge wyandotte.
