It's a cockerel!
Looks like your nephew got his wish!!
He will help protect those ladies.

Your remember that! lol... Not just that. He told me two weeks ago that was a rooster. I didn't believe him. No wonder I haven't gotten those chocolate eggs yet.

I was secretly wishing you would get a rooster too.
When you tell your nephew that he is a rooster, I bet he will grin from ear to ear.

Yes. That will prove my 10-year old nephews knows more about chicken birds and bees than I do.

How many feeders do you have available to the flock?

Is my black copper marans a rooster a just a mean girl? I’ve had her for almost 2 months, so she’s probably 4 months old. I’ve been waiting for those beautiful copper brown eggs. And then this happened! She jump on the back of my new chicken. Twice! (See video) That made me wonder if she was mis-sexed. She is definitely the bully... she keeps my new chicks from feeding and a notorious feather puller. What’s the deal? Mean girl or rooster? Oh yeah... I haven’t heard her crow. So I hope that is a good sign.

I just sent the video to the farm where I got the chick as a pullet. He has confirmed that it is a rooster.

I had three. That was working well, even they she (or he) was still giving her a fun for her money. I started using a Grandpa’s Feeder today. So there’s only one and no other food is supposed to be available during the training period. So, Mr. Roo pretty much guards it from her.
