Brahma Roosters Dont Crow

[ldrwnorman47]

Why would my 2 roosters not crow?
They are healthy and full grown.

Thanks

I got them in April/May from TSC....

Brahmas take much longer to mature and grow. They can still be growing at 18 months of age, they will crow and very loudly-big lungs!

So this is a normal thing for them not to crow yet?
I didnt realize they were even roos until i was browsing through photos, my bad. They are beautiful tho i must say!

Are you complaining? Lol

Quote:Yes, perfectly normal. I have some Penedesencas (mediterranean) which typically mature faster, hatched in April and they just starting crowing this week.

Yes I guess I am complaining lol.
The coop is far away from my house so i wouldnt hear them much.
I almost bought a roo b/c i didnt think I had one ! HAHAHA
jokes on me

I would like them to crow a little. All i can hear is my ducks !

Love ducks, little ones. Hoping to get some Mandarins and Woodies this fall.

They're pretty young yet. Most of my roos have crowed around the 4-4 1/2 month mark, but as a PP said, Brahma's mature more slowly.
