Looks like one to me

I have 19 hens (6 laying) and one 13 week old cockerel. I've noticed he's been getting frisky with the girls.... I thought cockerels had to be older??

No I don’t think so.

No I don’t think so.

Well alrighty then. I guess that means Barney the cockerel has successfully merged with the big girls.

He is stunning!!!

Thank you!

So far he's been a good boy. The laying hens are helping with his manners. Fingers crossed.

13 weeks is pretty young, surprised he can actually get the job done at that age.
It does kinda look fertile, but rather blurry for these old eyes.
Are your hens over a year old....or......just started laying?
