Roo maturity age?

[mlahodik]

I have some pure ameraucanas that I suspect are Roos. At what age do Ameraucana Roos become sexually mature? Also, while I wait to rehome, does the presence of males influence hens becoming broody? My hens just started laying in the last two days.

You dont say how old these suspect cockrels are.
If they are the same age as the pullets that just started laying, it should be easy to tell.
They will be slightly bigger, maybe crowing by now, and attempting to mount the girls.
They also should clearly have hackle and saddle feathers.
Give us some full side view pictures of the suspects and we will help you verify.

Cockerels usually reach sexual maturity around 18 to 25 weeks, same as when pullets start to lay. And no, having a rooster will not influence whether your hens go broody. They either will or they won’t - no way to really influence.
