I agree. I can pick out a male bantam so much earlier than a standard. Usually by 4 weeks I know a bantams gender, especially the oegb.
Standard Easter egger males can stump me until they are at least 5 to 6 months old. My pea comb males are usually slower to reveal their gender.
I've had OEGB and Sebrights start trying out crowing at like 2 weeks old.
 
What breed? I've had bantams go broody after a few weeks of laying. The earliest I've had a standard go broody is around 7 months. I would keep an eye on things, she may be hiding from a bully.
Standard Phoenix will start brooding after the first week of laying sometimes. I had two that did and hatched out the 3 to 5 eggs I let them keep.
 
Hi everyone! I need find a new home for my 1-year-old Black Australorp rooster. He's very good at taking care of his hens. He is great at finding them food and protecting them. The only reason I have to rehome him is I need to downsize my flock due to chronic shoulder/feet problems making it difficult for me to take care of them and I need to rehome him as soon as possible. We are near the Tyler/Longview area.

He is gorgeous. Good luck finding him a new home, and good luck with your health, as well.
