What age did your rooster crow?

I put my roosters that crow in a sleep-y night box and then let them out during the day, and the get a crow collar.

Cookie started at about 9-10 weeks. The two in my avatar, Lenny & Squiggy, started at about 15-16 weeks.

Seems most in the forum talk about hoping their kids are pullets - of course, since most city ordinances only allow hens.

I'm looking at these GORGEOUS cockerel / rooster pics thinking - what were the odds that of my recent 17 pullet purchase that all would actually end up as pullets. I was secretly hoping I'd get at least one cockerel. At 7 weeks, seems I really did get all pullets. Drooling over these pics!!!

This is Nugget. He started "crowing" at 6-7 weeks old. In reality he simply sounds like a squeaky toy. Meanwhile his Easter Egger "brothers" haven't made a peep and they're now all around 11 weeks old.

Mine have always started 5-6 months some later.I have a Cochin bantam start crowing early as about 2 months.I also had a rooster who WOILD NOT, crow outside with other birds until they were out of sight,I would bring him inside so he could “Release” his crow.

My very earliest crow-er was a 3-4 week old Silkie. I'm sure he was agged on by my dogs howling every morning when hubby arrived home from his night job.

My oldest crow-er.. was a two year old barred Rock HEN! She quit laying eggs as well.
