[rooster-red]

Then its a cockeril, not a rooster.

 

[yoshi xii]

wat's a cokereil

 

[speckledhen]

A cockerel is a rooster under a year old. And mating activity can take place as young as 8 weeks old, although it's more practice than actual mating at that age.

 

[yoshi xii]

but my rooster is 7 months old

 

[speckledhen]

Then he is definitely mating age and I bet anything that's what you saw.

 

[rooster-red]
