Roo or hen

[duckie97]

this is my bird rocky I named it this because I thought for sure he was a roo but he has no traits of a roo. He/she is about 25 weeks old. No idea what breed it is either I was given him as a chick because he had a bent neck so the girl at tractor Supply gave her to me to save her (her words).

Cockerel, 100% sure. Looks like a hatchery quality Delaware.

Just out of curiosity how long before he matures or acts like a roo, I have a bantam Mille de fleur that acts as the roo.

cockerel as per Gray Farms

Delaware cockerel.

I'm not sure if he's just slow to develop or if he has some developmental issue. He's much lighter and younger looking than that stated age. he could be a "special" rooster and never act like a mature bird.

Could be sterile.

Could be sterile.

could be, and that may not be a bad thing if he's got genetic/physical issues.
