True, I've had cockerels crow earlier than 10 weeks. So, scratch the 10-12 week suggestion. Listen for crows, watch combs and wattles, eventually look for hackle and saddle feathers. Or, post pics on BYC, ask others, and get 20 different answers (even if pullet or cockerel are your only options).12-16 weeks for saddles and hackles.....crowing can happen anytime.
