Nothing screaming cockerel yet.

Every bird has what I call "spur nubbins," regardless of gender. Presence of these on your babies means nothing. Also, roosters do not begin to develop true spurs until approximately a year of age.

Ya, but my Rhodes roosters look a lot like that Rhode Island.

You see that part were the eye is, if you will, stretched, that's exactly what my had and it ended up being a rooster.

There is always hope.

Yes, there is still hope. 6 weeks is still quite young to know for sure.

Well I think I still have a good month before he (she?) starts crowing. So I won't fret just yet.

That was probably just a feature unique your particular rooster. Never noticed this in any of my cockerels.

Sounds about right. Best not to worry as of now.

It's probably based on the breed and how good it was bred.

There is nothing pointing to cockerels in these birds.
