I'm just starting to wonder if one of my 12 week old Marans may be a male
'She ' has recently developed a twisted beak and needs a bit of help with her food, but the other day I watched 'her' staring at one of her male siblings- face on , and ruffle 'her' neck feathers- then they both lept at each other feet first.
The male ran off and she did exactly the same with another of her male siblings.
'She's'about 3/4 of their size- and always has been , and her feather development was- and still is- very clearly female.
I just wondered whether being hungry may have made her agressive to her male siblings when there's food at stake.
I'll know for sure if she starts crowing- but I really don't want to allow myself to get too attatched if we're going to end up eating her! ( hand feeding 'her' every day isn't helping with this either!!!)
What do you think????
