HELP! Cockerel attempting to mount????

I think a silver spangled Hamburg cross of some kind, I think a bantam.
He's a beauty. I'm betting the eggs are fertile. If you want chicks let the hen brood them. In just 5 days the eggs can be candled to see if they are developing or not; especially if the eggs are white or light colored. I have used bantam rooster as young as 4 months and they were fertile.
 
If it makes you feel any better my cochin rooster's butt had so much fluff that my eggs are almost never fertilized lol. He certainly tries his hardest though! It's crazy your cocherel hasn't crowed. I hatched a backyard mix cockerel from eggs given to me by a friend, and he started crowing around 9-10 weeks old. He's 13.5 weeks now and mounting every hen he can find and subsequently being attacked afterwards because his advances are not being appreciated. I'm not even sure if he's potent at that age. I have a maran cockerel only a week younger and he tries to attack me already, but hasn't crowed or shown any other rooster behaviors yet.

Hens eggs stay fertile for 21 days after tge roostee leaves.
