yep thone in question is 100% male, crested hens have round even crest, males have the long stringy ones, looks a good bi crevie, but pretty sure there's some polish in him too, type just looks off for some reason to me.

I had heard before I got a crev that they were pretty wild. Out of three chicks I ended up with one roo. He has always been the hardest to get in the coop and shy of us but lately he has gotten aggressive. I''m wondering if it is the breed or just him. I really want to keep him, he's a beautiful bird, but since none of the pullets lived he is the odd man out right now. I have to decide if I should keep him and try get some hens to go with him or rehome him.

think that's just him. I have qite a few in bantam and they are all just as calm and gentle as can be. Keep 3 roos per pen with never even a cross look at each other too.

The foundation roo I had was pretty nasty. He attacked me several times and my DH once....after he was killed (went after a horse, I think because I found his flattened carcass in the horse pen), I hatched out several more (roos) and the one I held back to use as a breeder is very sweet. He's laid-back, eats out of my hand and I can pet him. He doesn't like being picked up and held but I do that too. The birds I got from Sandhill were exceptionally insane and flighty. Creves should be calm and slow as they should be bred towards a dual-purpose meat/egg bird. Flighty birds don't keep on good weight, either.

Hi i am kimberley. I will be doing showmanship at the fancyfeathers 4-h club on april 2. I will be showing my standard bearded black crevecoeur hen. I have been holding her alot and have crate trained her. I was curious if any body knows the right eye color, beak color, proper weight, etc.... I also wanted to now if anybody had some tricks that can enhance the birds appearance besides olive oil and a silk hankerchief and if anybody could tell me iformation on showmanship? I am new at showing chickens thanks - kimberley
