 He's from Newcastle and anything that is black and white in colour he says is his, especially when its a pullet. He has a magpie maran called maggie, not sure what he's gonna call this one

Is that a rose comb, or a pea comb?  I thought rose combs were rounder looking, it's a pretty chick whatever it is!

It's a rose comb, and at 8 weeks old, that is a cockerel (judging by the wattle growth)

Are they bantams or large fowl?

I found  my bantams hard to sex last year, I have more of an idea now... and thanks for ruining the image of them for me (being maggies)  :tongue2: (from a mackem!)

i did think it was a cockerel, shame really we wanted to keep him. Our neighbours don't mind hens, prob because they get free eggs from us ( and to keep them happy) but cockerels i think i wud be pushing it a bit. My husband just said black and white looks better than red and white  ::) ::)
And it is a large fowl wyandotte, it was a pick and mix from a guy near us, a very handsome young cockerel.
