20 week old Buff Cochin Roo doesn’t crow and 17 week old EE Roo doesn’t crow either?

These two are my boys. I’m certain the Cochin is male but I’m still on the fence about the EE but neither one of them crow. They don’t make any noise at all actually. They wander about the yard the Cochin, his name is Turkey is very calm and docile and doesn’t make trouble with anyone and mainly hangs out with the hens.

The EE, named Roadrunner is a bit more aggressive with the other animals but not with me or my kids. He tries to jump on my ducklings and hold them down with his feet but usually only during feeding times but he also isn’t causing mayhem all day long.

Neither one of them crow yet. Shouldn’t they be? Why aren’t they? My neighbors Roo is a buff Brahma and he stands on the fence and crows all day long. He used to come over to my yard and stand in front of my coop and crow but my neighbor has finally got him back on his own land.

Apologize for the photo of my husband and my daughter I must have accidentally clicked on it when looking for Roo photos!

Both are male. They mature at their own pace. Be grateful for the silence before it's destroyed.

did it not even crow once?

It may take some time. Our EE rooster crowed at about 5 months of age

It will take some time...

Not once. Neither one of them. They are always quiet. The only ones that make any noise are my hens lol

Are we sure the Cochin is male?
They will crow when they want.

Yep, zoom in on those nice shiny saddles. Hard to notice, but definitely there. I had to double check myself.

He’s a male I’m fairly certain. He is often seen mounting some of my hens. He’s just a silent fella.
