Will someone answer question about my pretty young EE rooster please?

[Mourningdove]

Hello everyone! I am wondering about the behavior of my 5 month old rooster. He is a gorgeous rooster to look at and so far he isn't showing any type of aggression towards me so out of 3 ee roosters I chose to keep him for 2 ee pullets that are also just 5 months old.
As a matter of fact they came from the same parents on the same hatch day and were raised together. Now I have noticed how most roosters will start calling the girls to food when they find some, now my pretty ee rooster so far will just eat and not call the girls to the food

and I also noticed that the girls seem to want no part of him

and the girls hang by the fence by the leghorn rooster in the next pen

so what gives? Will my pretty ee ever measure up?
Will he ever mature to take care of his girls? Or will he need to be replace

any advice needed!

Aw, he'll man up! Some boys just take a bit longer than others to mature and be roosterly.

I sure hope he does, and I also hope that I didn't give away the wrong ee roosters! Thanks for replying speckledhen!

He may just be a late bloomer. Have you tried giving him is own hens and removing any other roosters? Sometimes that speeds up the process.
