How old is this WR? the whites I had had very developed combs by 14 weeks, the comb on this bird almost looks like my hens combs, are ya sure thats a rooster?Deli... ok need your expert opinion and everyone elses.. this is the white rock from Deli...it is about 15 weeks old or so. Slightly agressive, bigger than all the other birds since birth, but no crow and I dont see suspicious feathers like I do on my gorgeous olive egger roo.... your thoughts guys!! Here are pics of the roo and the suspect...
The start about 6 monthsDeli-at what age do your Blk orps start laying? I've got someone making a bunch of racket in the morning around 7:30am. The sounds reminds me of what my other hens did when they laid, but the blk orps aren't old enough, right? They are only 4 mos. old! That is about the right time for the roos to start crowing, but it just doesn't sound like an ametuer crow. My 2 "supposed" roos are about 3 mos. old.

I agree with your assessment. It has the look of a pullet with no roo feathers. It still might be a roo. I wish I could have blown the picture up more. I see no sickel or hackel male feathers. My males here have huge combs at that ageKim your WR are gorgeous!
This bird developed its comb adn wattles around 12 weeks or so... it is about 15 weeks right now.
I just dont see the obvious tail and saddle...but everythig else seems roo like...
