Rooster???

[linhawk]

About what age do Black Australorps start showing signs of being a rooster?
About what age do Copper Marans start showing signs of being a rooster?

Mine are about 19 weeks old.
Thanks, Linda

I would think you would have known by now. Can you post some pictures of the back of the neck feathers, include the head. Preferably a side profile. Also take a picture of the saddle hackles/feathers from the side and top.
Others will be around with help,the pictures will tell the tale.
Cheers

Is it fully grown????

I think they are fully grown or very close. I don't see any pointy feathers around the neck (marans have copper of course)or any pointy feathers on the saddle area but one of the coppers has really big feet and so does one of the BAs.
I thought by 19 weeks something would show. Maybe I got lucky and they are all hens.
No roos allowed in my town. A neighbor had them come and get her roo. She was able to keep her hens and goats.

Post pictures. That will help. A lot.

They are definitely old enough to tell.
Most breeds you can tell at 6-8 weeks.
Why don't you post some pics?
