6 months ish what breed?

Starting around 12 weeks is when gender specific saddle feathers are noticeable on non hen feathered breeds., usually more flowing close to 16 weeks

Barring width itself can be a lousy indicator of gender as it's quite subjective, especially when we're talking about hatchery/pet quality birds.

I also don't see any cockerels but disagree about the timing folks are stating that a male *will* crow.. I've seen it as early as 3 weeks and as late as almost 2 years old.. it truly depends on the individual in MY experience.

Gorgeous flock!

Ahh! Now I can see. Looks like all of them are hens. Thank you for this photo. I am saving it for future reference..

He’s a beautiful rooster! I love that name! I was so hoping the bard rock would be a rooster. They are beautiful birds.

He only has two hens now, but we're getting 15 in February.

That’s how many I have now. They go through some feed, even with free ranging..
