Darn.
I think the Cuckoo Marans is a boy. I could be over reacting, but he, I mean she (innocent until proven otherwise?) is just much bolder than the others. Then there are the physical traits. Much more pronounced comb that his sisters. Bigger legs.
I wouldn't be so suspicious, but I have been here before. Meet Teriyaki:
Teriyaki was one of our first three chicks we brought home back in 2009. A beautiful example of his Delaware breed. Teriyaki crowed a couple times as a wee boy and then by the time he looked like this at 6 months he was crowing day and night. ALL THE TIME. Luckily our neighbors all thought it was nice and quaint to hear a rooster. But since it is illegal to have a rooster within the city of Portland, he had to go. He went to live on a farm in Mulino, a small town outside Portland. No seriously, he really did...it isn't just a story we tell the girls. He is quite happy there I hear.
This is Teriyaki at three weeks:
Here is Cocoa (the Cuckoo Marans) today:
I am telling you those feet and that comb look very familiar.

I have to call
Urban Farm Store tomorrow to see if I can make an exchange.
In the meantime, I think Nugget may be my favorite. So mellow and sweet.
And feathered feet!
