Silly question (trivia for the day, I guess)

At what age did your SFH cockerels start to crow? 

I honestly can't remember...four months? There are two new little guys in my grow out pen, and I'll pay more attention this time!

The black one I have, I have got to get a picture of him for you guys. He is soooo cool looking. Black and red and white with a white crest.
