IF I remember right.. it's been several years... my FBCM roo started crowing somewhere around 3months. Well.. started making sounds like he was being murdered - but they eventually became a crow. He had a beautiful voice.

Thank you @Ridgerunner and @canesisters for the comments on Speckled Sussex. I really like them, I suppose I will have to get some. Any recommendations on what hatchery?
so lucky

Ooh, I recommend Speckled Sussex too. But they weren't layers of large eggs for me. I would have gotten more this time if they had been available.
@ninnymary , does the bird in question act like a roo? A little more aggressive and rowdy?

Those cubbies on top of HER head are a bit suspicious.

Maybe. They vary with breed. My lavender orpington roosters showed like that.

Upright is not a problem, curved can be. To make it more confusing someone on the chicken forum recently posted photos of a pullet that had curved tail feathers when younger. I know that just adds to your frustration.
Usually Autralorps are easy for me to tell sex by five weeks, let alone as old as that one is. But some can be really challenging. I wish I could be more sure on yours.
