Hi everyone! 👋
Me and my wife have been keeping chickens for around 8 months now, and they are great! A couple of months ago one of our hens went broody and we decided to let her hatch a couple of eggs.
One of the babies ended up being a cockerel and is currently around 6 weeks old. My question is how long does it take for cockerels to develop their final colours/plumage? It’s almost like he is changing colour every week, not literally changing colour but keeps getting slightly different colours and patterns going on.
Thanks in advance for you help! 😊🐔
