Mine did. But that doesn't mean they all will I suppose. I had 2 roosters of another breed that didn't but one was a real late bloomer I think is why. All the male Orps I've had, if they were the same age, crowed the same day. Not to say I've had all that many, just the few batches I have had, that's what they did.

Love those Orps!

I don't care why the chicken crossed the road, as long as mine don't!

Don't go by the two tone. Hens can have two tones, too.
