Please help me identify and age this Bantam

He started crowing this morning. Or at least, this is the first morning I noticed it while tending him. He actually crows quite well, just with a high pitched voice. So I suspect he’s been crowing a while. The syllables of the crow are too well pronounced for him to have just started today. Much better than in comparison to my 2 month old jungle fowl which just started crowing. When I first heard my dominant jungle fowl cockerel start to crow this weekend, I thought it was one of my Wyandotte pullets hitting the electric fence!
 

Thank you all for the help. Earlier this week he started, well, mating with hand whenever I'd put it into his cage to change his food and water. Thankfully, I found a local breeder who had some pullets available. He's now the rooster of 5 pretty little old English game bantam pullets in a spacious coop that's just for them.

I'm sure they all still have some growing to do, but I'm totally taken by how little they are. And as unmanly as it sounds to say, I have to admit that the best word to describe them is "precious."

He's been mating with the pullets all afternoon. So I'm presuming that he's not too terribly far from being grown. Would that be an accurate presumption? I do note his spurs aren't developed yet.
