I guess it's a little hard for me to explain merely through descriptions and pictures, but I'm around "him" every day, and what I'm seeing is definitely unusual.
The older this bird gets, the less physically and mentally cockerel-ish it becomes. It's shed all those sickle feathers since, leaving behind a short, rounded tail, never grew in any pointed plumage (only noticeably round feathers have come in more recently), acts like one of the pullets, and only rarely emits a hilariously weak, shaky crow. Another oddity - the other roos (most of which are gone now) morphed into flighty, aloof, unfriendly creatures by 5-6 months, but Barracuda is still extremely personable and chatty. So you're absolutely sure this is a cockerel?
