Silkie Maturity

[thefadedstitch]

About how old are Silkie roosters sexually mature?
One of my "pullets" crowed this morning. I sat and watched for awhile and witnessed plenty of male behavior. Floozy, said "pullet", is seven months old and has never looked anything but female. My confusion level is high.

Picture(s) please? Sounds to me like you have a slow developing cockerel

Definitely a cockerel, pretty boy!

Now I know why she wasn't laying.

I have a Cochin the same age that still hasn't laid. With her, it's obvious that she is a she. Looks, behavior, all of it.
