Earliest one of your cockerels has crowed?

What's the earliest you've heard one of your little cockerels crow? I have a little Serama boy, Sam, who started at two weeks! He'd do the little gearing up to crow, then peep in a crowing cadence, like peep-peep-peep-pee-peeeee! Here is a video of him doing a baby crow when he was about 4 weeks old:

Cockerels can crow as young as 3 weeks.

Youngest one of my silkies crowed was around 5 weeks. Named him “Loud Mouth” and he’s more than lived up to it now lol

This is the cutest thing ever. He sounds like a songbird trying to imitate a rooster

Some of the 6 old english cockerels that I rehomed this week started crowing I think last week. They are 8 weeks old.

My remaining serama cockerel is 10 weeks and 4 days old and he started crowing around a month old too I think. It started out squeaky like that and is louder now but not as loud as the old english cockerel that I had last year until I rehomed him when he was 5 months old. He had a no crow collar on which helped a bit but not enough.

I thought mine crowed at 2 weeks but I later learned he was actually pooping with a prolapsed vent while flapping his wings.

Your lil guy is just far too cute! And his comb is R-E-D for 4 weeks.
Sounds like a squeaky wheel on a toddlers stroller.

Our second cockerel from this batch started crowing around 8 weeks, and he sounded like a kazoo! One of the others just started trying to crow at 15 weeks, so far he just sounds like he’s yelling.

That is so darn cute!

even if he wasn’t crowing, he was pretty clearly a roo very early on! This is him at about 2.5 weeks:
