Redcatcher, i will have to disagree with u. I have a 6-7 month old Brazilian stag that started crowing last week, and one of his hatch mates has started grabbing pullets, trying to top them. They aren't breeding yet, but the "At least a year" isn't really that accurate, in my experience. I had a 9 month old braz/asil stag last year topping a hen, and her eggs proved to be fertile. Wasn't a mating I planned or kept, but I incubated them out of curiosity. My Brazilians are average sized, cock out at 7-7.5. Different lines do mature differently, that could account for some of the variance.
