Hen or roo

[CaptMom]

I purchased 2 Copper marans that are supposed to be hens, but they sure don't look like it. They're 4 months old and do NOT crow. Tail feathers have a rounded shape, but those combs... both look just like the image

That's a cockerel..100%

 

[CaptMom]

That's what I thought too!

 

[Gray Farms]

sorry you didn't get what you were suppose to.

 

[CaptMom]

It's ok. I knew in my gut they were, but being new, I let her convince me otherwise. She was very nice and said she'd replace them.

 

[Gray Farms]

That's great

 

[CaptMom]

She is new to it too. So basically, it was the blind leading the blind. Lol

 

[Gray Farms]

Guess you both learned something then. Sounds like a great person to deal with then. Knowing boys from girls is the first step, then breed from breed, then color from color.

cockerels sorry, maybe the next time will be right

 

[CaptMom]

Next time I won't let someone convince me I'm wrong, when I know I'm right!
