Supposedly a midnight majesty
 | When we got the chick, it was supposedly a midnight majesty, which I have researched and understand to be a hybrid between a Black copper maran and Barred rock. Apparently with this breed the hens are single black color, and the roos exhibit barred plumage. Well, there are several other signs that make me think this is a rooster and not a hen (saddle feathers, comb development, general alpha like behavior mounting other chickens). So I guess my question is, is it not true or 100% the case that roos have barred plumage for this hybrid? Is this a rooster and not a hen? Or is it more likely that this just straight up isn't a midnight majesty and is some other breed? [link] [comments] |
