my rooster might not be a rooster?

[Painted Calls]

Bird pictured is a hen. Dominant hens can and will mount other hens.

By viable eggs, do you mean they have a bullseye or they have hatched?

Infertile eggs can sometimes have blood or meat spots in them. It doesn't necessarily mean it was fertile.

By the way.....the pic has no black copper marans.
They are something different.

My male black copper marans for reference. Males have different coloring.

Sometimes bullseyes can appear on not fertile eggs as well. Meat and blood spots do not mean fertility. If you have hatched them, with success, you have another male in your flock. I agree with the others, the bird pictured is a hen.


Edit: I am not trying to argue, but if your eggs are indeed fertile, I would definitely want to hear more! The picture below is a fertile egg. I just want to help!
