How old are brahma cockerels when hormones kick in?

[Karilcole]

I was wondering how old brahma cockerels usually are when their hormones start showing. (Sry idk what else to call it). I know they’re slow to mature but my brahma girls started laying early so wasn’t sure w cockerels. I was told it’s bc they’re hatchery chicks.
Any help is much appreciated!

It just depends on the bird. I’ve had some that were a challenge from the time they started to crow and others that didn’t really get into the swing of things until they were a little older.
