22 weeks old and still not crowing.

[Sheila83]

I have what I believe is a roo but he's not crowing. He's 22 weeks old but I haven't heard as much as a cluck from him. Is it possible that I was wrong and he's actually a she? I'll see if I can get a picture of him when I home for lunch today. I thought for sure he would be crowing by now.

Could be a hen or could just be a roo that hasn't found anything he wishes to crow about yet.

Do you have any other roos?

 

[Sheila83]

No, no other roos. In fact this is my first ever round of chickens. 'He' was my free bird from McMurray's. He's so much bigger then the other hens I have and his comb went red A LOT faster. That is why I just assumed he was a roo. I'm pretty sure he's a Partridge Cochin.

Pics would help to identify if he truly is a roo, but sometimes they just don't find much to crow about and sometimes they never shut up.

 

[Sheila83]

Well I live in town so I hope he's not much of a crower! When I go home for lunch I'll get a picture.

My roosters were all 35 weeks before they started to crow

Now if you didn't live in the city, and wanted a rooster that crows all the time, I have a serama roo in need of a good home. Just sayin....

 

[Sheila83]

Yeah I think I'll pass...

I finally took a picture of him last night!
