This little sweetie is nearly 4 weeks. It hatched from a Black Cooper Maran egg. The farm I got it from she thought it could be a black crossed with an olive egger, or maybe just a really dark Blue Cooper Maran. Out of the bunch it’s my favorite. The comb is prominent but there is no sign it’s turning red or pink. Opinions please.

At that age it is hard to tell what sex it is. Do you have any more recent pictures?

Hi! Actually two of my four chicks turned out to be undeniably Boy. Red wattles, red comb, larger then their female counterparts, baby cock fights.
But I found a farm that was super excited to have them, and we can visit. They’ll have their own little flock, all to themselves.

I'm glad you found a good home for them.
