No visible male behavior / I'm honestly confused

[KikiDeAnime]

I'm honestly confused with our current cockerel because he hasn't displayed any male behavior. All the other past cockerels we had displayed a lot of behavior and constantly fought with our dominant hens over being top of the flock.
Tidbit has not shown any sort of normal behavior and I know most calm down during fall & winter but he never attempted to woo the girls during summer like our previous cockerels did.
He's very much a cockerel as I've asked twice on here to confirm but I'm at a loss here because I planned on using our incubator to hatch eggs after he started breeding them.
I also planned on getting more of his breed next year for breeding.

Any chance that he'll show behavior in spring?

Oooo - I bet he does! Spring = crazy hormone time. But I have heard of the occasional male who just doesn't "rooster" for whatever reason.

Do you have other roosters? Maybe he's just not dominant?

And can we see pics??? I just wanna see because roosters/cockerels are the best.

We had a rescue cockerel who had been dumped at my work but he ended up passing away a few months ago. Tidbit was scared of him at the time due to the size difference

Sorry he passed.

Did the rescue rooster mate your hens? Maybe he is still feeling like rooster #2 since the other guy just passed? Maybe???

He never got a chance. The hens attacked him every day

I had posted twice on here and a lot of people confirmed he was male. He's a Cuckoo Marans

Wicked little biddies!

Shoot - maybe he's afraid of your hens! They sound like a tough group to impress!
