Mystery Breed

[Matt84]

I have no idea what she is. She is absolutely massive, the biggest of my 12 and even larger than my rooster from the same hatch.

She is gentle, docile and timid. Dorky, lanky and behaves more clumsily than my other 11. Reminds me of big bird.

She even has pointed rooster like feathers, but clearly is not a rooster. Approx 5.5 months old now. Just quite interesting to watch.

“She” is a Black Copper Marans cockerel.

Oh yeah and PS- in case you didn't catch @Brahma Chicken5000 drift... that's not a hen Matt. That's a Roo bro.

really? Totally had me duped as this is what I have in comparison. Same age.

The Black one is slower maturing and probably not the alpha.

Do you think I can keep them both together?

I’d keep them together. There may be squabbling as they get older, but that’s normal.

Guess I just need more hens
