Marans. Is it a roo?

[Clairise]

Sold as a pullet, but now it's crowing... Loudly. 4.5 months old ish.

 

[SIMZ]

Crowing is the final say! Sorry!

Crowing is the final say! Sorry!

What they said.... Sorry if that is not the outcome you were hoping for!!

I believe it is a hen sometimes, even though rare, a hen is able to crow. I have never experienced this personally however my father did.

We have a hen that occasionally crows, this does happen, though it is rare. In this case however I can tell this Maran is a cockerel.

Welp everyone. Meet RooPaul.

Saddle feathers are just starting to come in. He's a late-blooming cockerel.

 

[Ol Grey Mare]

The just emerging saddle and hackles feathers visible in the photo tell the tale... this is a cockerel

Crowing hens *can* occur, but this is a bird of just 4.5 months
