I purchased 7 chicks from a local feed mill and they are now about 8 weeks old. Yesterday I got rid of a Black Copper Maran that was very obviously a rooster and this morning I was very upset to hear more crowing first thing in the morning! I know it is a bit early for a true "crow" but it definitely sounded like it and only happens in the morning. This is the bird in question. I was told the breed is an Easter Egger. This is the largest bird and also tends to pick on the other birds the most/the most aggressive. The comb is darker than the other Easter Egger I have, but it also has always been larger than the other (so perhaps they were not the same age when I got them?). Very interested to hear your thoughts!
