About when do chickens stop peeping?

[Seaecho]

My 8 and 10 week old chickens are still peeping. At what age do they usually stop doing that, and sounding like adults?

It varies a bit, but their voices generally have all changed at about fourteen weeks for me (Though I've never really thought about it and recorded my findings or anything.) They're still a little hoarse-sounding for a while after that, though.

I wish my roo would be "hoarse-sounding"!

About 14-18 weeks depends on the breeds and some mature early some later. You’ll hear melodic singing before you know it or crowing sooner or later.

Yes, I've noticed their voices start to change around four months, give or take. They sound more like ducks at this stage. Quacking? I didn't think I had any ducks!

every morning i go out to the coop, all the hens sound like a baby nursery at any hospital! whining, crying, low rumbles, an occasional purrr. then they get fed and......silence!bok bok bok

I start hearing the occasional cluck around 10 - 12 weeks. They spend about a month going through the voice change.

my flock makes the most beautiful egg song I ever heard, except for beetov-hen who stays silent when laying her egg.

I've heard the melodic singing a few times, and a purr now and then, so I guess they're on their way. Thanks all!
