Well he looks like a White Leghorn and with all mine usually start around 14-16 weeks of age.

should be anytime now then. when we bought them from TSC they were labeled Plymouth Rocks but everyone who has seen them say leghorns, and from pics on here I believe they are. Looks like we will have 3 roosters. Will we be able to keep all of them or not? this is all new to us.

Well from most people I have heard on here they would NEVER trust roosters together, but I have got 3 roosters right now and although they have only just started crowing, mating etc they never fight or get in each others way, but all roosters are different so you will just have to see.
You are also going to have to have enough hens for each rooster, usually 8-10 hens per rooster in the same pen. If you separate your roosters then you can have trios or quads (but that is usually just for the breeding season).
