Hi. I have a 12 week old cuckoo orpington that I suspect is a male. Compared to my other same aged orpington, it has a developed red comb and wattle and that it the only reason why i have my suspicions as I have yet to see pointed saddle feathers. It has picked out one Pullet in my small flock to give a hard time. It chases her away from the food and gives her a peck if she’s too close. This is the only bird that it gives harsh treatment to. So …I was thinking …does this sound like ‘top hen’ behaviour? My other confirmed rooster doesn’t bother any of the birds in the flock.
