Was just curious about how old some of y'alls Roosters were before they started Crowing and showing signs of spurs? I ask because we are trying to determine the sex of 2 of our flock. I've posted pics on another local site, and MAN..... we hear both. When we got them, they were sold as pullets, but nothing is usually 100%, so we decided to wait it out until the obvious happens. Btw..... one of them is my wife's Lavender Orpington and is a beauty and we are really hoping it's a hen. They are all about 10 1/2 weeks old now. Looking forward to y'alls replies.

Cluck on y'all 🐓
 
My sebright started to crow around 6 weeks. He was an early bloomer, and the other 2 started trying a few weeks later since he influenced them 😂. That being said they're now 11ish weeks old and all 3 are noticeably roos by comb, wattles and their tails!
 
My Australorp is 12 weeks now, he started crowing at 8 weeks
