Then how do you know he's a male?

I ordered one CW rooster and he's bigger than all the rest already

OK, that makes sense. I'm not familiar with the process at all (for obvious reasons) so how exactly does it work? Do the males come with a leg band or something to distinguish them?

No, usually you have to wait and see (i think it depends on the hatchery) but he's the only one of the breed that i got. There's no other CWs because they were out of stock on hens but i needed another rooster anyways so i got him.

Aw I can't enter two?
Fine, here's my favorite cock. Sir Cuckoo. He step dances and tidbits for me. I would enter 2 others, El Morya and Abeille (French for 'bee') but nooo only one entry.

May I ask why?

He has gotten aggressive with me recently. Never tries to attack my kids and is great at protecting the hens but he has jumped on me a few times and I have to watch my back when he's around

I don't think he's a BR. I've been trying to find out his breed. Some say cuckoo marans, some say other things. not sure tho. I've not got BR in the mix, he's a lovable mutt.
