Looks like my ls cock birds did at that age so I too think a He. They do make good table birds though

I had difficulty fattening mine up last autumn as the weather was so cold, hopefully with the time of year he will fatten up well and be a nice weight by about 20 weeks (mine crowed at about 20 weeks - late starters!). I did rehome one though as they were such docile birds with humans and would jump on my shoulders and preen me
