I've got 9 Roo's of various breeds

There you have the answer to why they are not crowing.

Sorry about the wait! The first set of photos has Stellar with our LO hen, Alice to show size comparison.
The other two are of Gadget, his brother (he was being a sucky baby, and wanted my daughter to hold him) - he is larger than Stellar. Neither one crows, it could be dominance related? My Polish is the boss, and they respect him - but all the others seem to crow at some point. The two boys stayed in, til about an hour ago and not a crow around

You have got some handsome boys there!

If you could breed a roo with no crow....so many possibilities! (doubt it but could you imagine! Lol)

Now that would be pretty fantastic! If only Roos were like drakes! (Whispering all the time!)

Thank you for telling me! I honestly thought they would all crow at some point (the other 7 do) - but I've only been raising for the past 3 years, so my knowledge is based only in what I've seen so far

Thank you! Theyre incredibly sweet boys, who love to cuddle

And see here i was under the assumption that they would all crow! Beautiful bunch of boys! My Polish is the boss here, with my Cochin second - but I've got 2 Olive Egger Roos, a Silkie & an Ameraucana that all crow! Just not these two lol -

Hi everyone, new member here!
So if this isn't the correct spot for posting, I apologize!

Yes the title is correct, I'm not looking for one - I have one. Two actually, brothers. I've been searching high and low on the internet and can simply find no answers.
These are without a doubt, males. King feathers, saddle feathers, big red combs/waddles, and huge thick legs. Theyre massive boys (Lavander Orpingtons), over a year old. They do NOT crow. I mean not at all. I thought at first maybe I was just missing them in the crowd, but I brought them inside for 24hrs and not a single crow. Theyre healthy, they "talk" quite a bit, and complain at me loudly when I pick them up. What on earth could be the reason for lack of crowing?
I'm not complaining, I've got 9 Roo's of various breeds lol, but I dont want these guys fathering chicks if there's something wrong with them (genetics etc). Any help or ideas (throw them at me, please!) Would be greatly appreciated

Might be late bloomers or too CHICKEN to crow!

They sure are handsome!
Welcome!

You've got yourself there the Holy Grail of Roosters!!!

But I agree with the others, they are just submissive and young and your flock dynamics are suppressing their crow instinct. Enjoy it while it lasts.
