Australorp rooster isn’t crowing

[GingerAndHerChicks]

My australorp is 17 weeks old, although everyone says it’s a rooster, it still hasn’t crowed. Have you had experience the same with Australorps?

It will happen...it may take awhile for some individuals.

Agree!

If they don't feel confident or are being intimidated by the girls they don't crow usually.

I agree!

My black australorp cockerel (Romeo) didn’t start crowing until he was about 20 weeks! I wish I could attach a video of it because it was hilarious! He would also crow while being held (as he got older)! This is one of the only pictures I have of him crowing (he’s about 7 months here)! But unfortunately we had to get rid of him shortly after this picture was taken due to aggression!

My chicks were picked up in the last week of April. Stayed in a box in the kitchen to start out, which we expanded. I named the smallest chick Pipsqueak, since he was much smaller than the others, but he was first to come for hand feeding, and would hop up into my hand when I held crumble in it. His first attempt at crowing was on June 1st. That's when I knew I had a rooster. By the time I got the coop ready, he was full on crowing......in the living room..... between 4:30 and 5:30 am

Our rooster is either an Australorp or Plymouth Blue Rock ( I can’t tell the difference) it is now 4 months and is just starting to express himself. We keep telling him he’s doing better but needs more practice!

I have a chick that started crowing super early too! His name is Tuna and he started crowing at almost exactly a month!

Yes it was funny to hear the progression.
