Copper Maran hen or rooster??

[MrsEskew]

Hello folks!! I haven't been on here in a while, and I missed this site. Someone gave me another chicken. I just want to know if it is a hen or rooster, because I really don't need another rooster. So what do yall think?

Sorry, but I think that your friend gave you a cockerel.

 

[MrsEskew]

Well darn. Thank you.

Cockerel.

 

[MrsEskew]

Thank you...I was really hoping it would be a hen, especially since my rooster seemed interested and was dancing for it. Oh well, off to search for it a home. Lol!

yep, cockerel. I'd be gifting that bird right back to your "friend"...why should you deal with finding it a new home?

I always say "beware of friends bearing chickens." they generally turn out to be cockerels. Give it back and announce "Last tag!" Send him a fruit cake at Xmas to get even.

Okay thank you guys. In the defense of my friend though, it was truly believed to be a hen. Lol!!! I'm actually debating on possibly keeping him and getting a flock of pullets for him next spring, and building a whole new pen. I'm just not quite sure yet if I want two flocks or not yet. Or if my husband wants to build another coop and pen. But they say chicken math gets to you. Lol! Thanks so much for helping me out yall! Yall are great.
