Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC!

but he developed his combs awfully early the same time my other roo did.

Handsome blue cockerel.. crowing is irrelevant..

was my first thought.. follow up photos, agree.

He’s sweet either way. He’s my only rooster with 11 hens then. Haha.

Look at those 10/11 week old wattles!

Frizzled cochins develop different than smooth. Hatchery birds also develop differently than those from breeders.

The comb should be larger on a 20 week old cockerel, but IMO, the wattles don't lie.

I will say cockerel. Update us again once he crows or lays an egg!

For reference, these 2 hatched the first week of April, and these pics were taken 8/8, so roughly 18 weeks? I might just have frizzles with monster wattles...They're also looking for a new zip code if anyone wants to add some monster wattles to their flock...

Hi all!

Still no crow or egg! I have noticed sometimes when I go to pick him up, he squats like the hens do?

I did get a tiny white egg, but I figured it was from one of my other chickens starting to lay.
