I suspect that my 23-week-old Black Langshan cockerel is undergoing his final juvenile molt since I've found a few of his gorgeous tail feathers lying around the coop. (He was slow-feathering as a chick).
His crow is improving and today I we saw him herding a hen back to the group after she'd wandered off alone at the far end of the run.
He hasn't been seen attempting to mate yet. Should I consider the probable molt a sign of impending maturity?
