What are the signs indicating that the cockerel is about to mature?

We have plenty of space, waterers, and feeders. You're absolutely right my big roo doesn't care about the younger ones really and the two roos don't really interact. Your right, I'm just going to grit my teeth and let the maturing process happen. Thank you.

I want the Frizzle cockerel, he and I are forming a good bond and he's just trying to figure things out. So far, he's a keeper.

I was hoping my big roo would help educate my little roo, but that hasn't happened yet.
How will my little roo learn how to be a gentleman? Will he be able to mate with the standard pullets when they're ready?

Time will tell.
