Aww little duckling and Bella in the Your Chickens magazine!

Baby has started going in the water now... People were saying Bella would go crazy, but she didn't care, at all. She didn't even look twice. She just stood there and then stood in there with it

Hi! I'm new to chickens and I believe our black Orpington may need a name change. She's currently Mary but I think she may be Marty. I would love some input! She (he?) is currently 5 months old. None of our flock have started laying yet but he/she has started growing those pointy yellowish saddle (I think) feathers and has started crowing. It's not just a little noise, it's legitimate crowing. I've read that sometimes a hen may do the dominant thing and act like a rooster but I think we may actually have a rooster on our hands. If anyone has some insight, I'd appreciate it!

The first picture is Mary by herself and the second picture is Mary with our lavender Orpington, Violet, and our Barnevelder, Henrietta.
