What's the youngest you've had a cockerel mount? I have 7 4 week old chicks and just witnessed one mount another chick...and then a duckling! I've had a feeling it was going to be a cockerel by head carriage and all, but this was quite a surprise!

They're all project wyandotte crosses so cant tell by combs who is what yet. But that kinda solidified that there's at least 1 boy in the bunch! The others are all super docile.
 
I have no experience with my own flock but I know my mother in law has a 10 week old RIR that started mounting a couple weeks ago and she still believed her to be a Pullet (he's not, he's a little cockerel boy) but his comb was super obvious to me. She had a hard time believing me/accepting this as they all came from the co-op as supposed "females".
