I had a green irn hen that got his ring at almost 4 years old, we were told that it was a hen and it acted like a hen too,
But when it turn almost 4 years old it was definatly a cock bird.
Sorry to hear this has happened.

Its just one of those annoyances that happens, we ended up giving away one of the birds in exchange for an aviary and selling the other.
