Hen Or Roo? I think it crowed this morning

[SaltCityChickens]

Thinking late blooming cockerel.

This is it crowing. Any advice?

I think cockerel as well.

The tenor of the crow does speak "cockerel". A hen crow is usually a higher note.

They started around 8-9 weeks too!

I agree with this statement! The sound is cockerel crowing.. I coudn't see the specific bird.

Sometimes as early as 10 but usually around 12 weeks gender specific saddle feathers may be seen.. more flowing like the second pic around 16 weeks images from google..

More close to what a blue BCM cock should look like also from google.. feather color changes should be coming close to 8 week mark.
