Will the feathers eventually grow in? I just got a small batch of 4 (2nd batch) and thought I was getting a speckled Sussex female but it was quite obvious from early on that she is actually a he. He just did his little baby crow this morning at 7 weeks today. He’s gorgeous and so is yours. I’m hoping to keep him as long as I can since we live within city limits, but our city is pretty lenient so far about backyard chickens. Plus, I live on a busy street where the traffic is more annoying by far! Thanks for the video ❤

Have you considered crossing this with one of your black marans?
