around what age will a hen cluck rather than peep?

[Gonzo]

I am bad! I've been so busy with all the new chicks, my kids, and redoing the coop and run, I forgot to mark my calander for the age of my 2 Golden comets! I still have them in a brooder, because I don't think they're large enough in size to join the flock yey, but monday I noticed the hen was clucking! I am awful! I'm thinking these guys are between 6~8 weeks old. I could be wrong!

You might be right! I've had pullets start to cluck at about 8 weeks. Even so, you might want to keep them separate until they are large enough not to get picked on too much.

Mine are around 6 weeks and the girls are still peeping, but my boy is trying to crow.

My girls are a litte more than 4 weeks now, and one or two of them will occasionally make a more clucking sound than a peep. The rest still sound like little fuzzybutts!

The hen i got from my mom is over a year old and still peeps! Maybe cause she was beat up by a duck and had PTSS

Mine started clucking instead of peeping recently, they are around 8/9 weeks. When they are wanting me to feed them though, they still peep sometimes.
