Im still trying to figure out what breed and sex this is, its between 16-17 weeks, ive had mixed comments some say roo and some say pullet and i really dont know, i posted some pics when it was around 8-9 week old and all came back and said pullet, the other day i wasn't sure when i opened the garden gate about 5m from the chickens this 1 kinda stood up flapped its feathers slighty and then went in the coop, first time its done it and never done it again ive tried making noises to get a reaction but nothing, could she have just been having a strecth. But saying that over the past week i have noticed her leaving the other 2 chickens and re-entering the coop on her own on several occasions, where as before they all liked to be together and followed each other around. No crowing, no aggression, no hen mounting (i had a pullet turn out to be a roo at 12 week when she mounted another chicken). First off i was told BR but cos of the legs it cant be, ive been doing some research and im thinking cuckoo maran??? I thought she was going to start giving us some eggs, but what do you guys think, this is my 1st lot of chickens and ive had them around 8 week now. The comb as started to get red over the past week or so, i might be blind but i dont see any saddle feathers, ive also been researching what they look like aswell. I have also got a black cuckoo maran, splash orpington (these were all from the same man, the black 1 we got 4 week after as our BA turned out a roo, i think the splash/black are maybe 2-3 weeks younger as they alot smaller as you can see in the 1st pic)
