Most males are mature at about 18 months old.

Thanks! Mine is getting close to that, and I've noticed he seems to have gotten a bit bigger or something over the spring. He just seems to look more mature. Since he was a year in April I wondered if he was doing a final "fill out" or something.

I do practice Bio-security and don't allow visits. Tragically I don't keep extra roos..... I can try to keep one for you. What part of TN are you in? There is a Middle TN thread if you are in that are.

You NEED to change the avatar..... it is messing with my head...... I am visual and I just see the avatars and I am having to read things twice to figure out who is talking

Sorry about the avatar thing, LOL. I'm in southern Middle Tn. Thanks for the offer. I may be interested at some point in the future but for now, since he is my first, I'm gonna hang on to the rooster I have now. If by the end of the year he isn't shaping into the rooster I'd like; I will see if you would hang on to one for me.

Im relatively new to chickens, but I love my birds. I bought a dozen of BCM eggs on ebay and had 6 hatch. I have 1 roo and 5 hens. The eggs were that beautiful chocolate color but 2 of the pullets do not look like the others. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. The pics are not the best I will try and get some better ones, they are very fast little things and hard to snap a nice pic.. Bruce, my roo

I think this is the only BCM in the bunch and from the looks on the others, I'd be suspicious of her also. I'm sorry you didn't get what you paid for, but at least some of them hatched!

I think most of them look like they could possibly be olive eggers.
