This cockerel hatched on May 1st. I've never had a cockerel crow before 4 months old and certainly not before the saddle feathers are obvious.
I was so surprised to hear this!
I didn't want to startle him so I sneaked a video through the crack in the door.

As far as video, you'll have to upload it on another source like YouTube. ;)

On early crowing, surprisingly, some roosters crow very young. My bantams started making crow-like sounds as only a couple days old! The older they get, the better and louder the crow gets until their crow is perfected, though.

What breed are you raising?

I've heard plenty of cockerels crow before 2 months, but maybe I've dealt with different breeds :idunno

This one is a mixed breed. I had a broody hen and just stuck a few eggs under her. Daddy is an EE and mama is whatever would cross with a EE to end up with red barring on the wings and red laced white feathers on the neck/chest. I have several different breeds, but none has crowed this early.

I have several adult roosters so he'll have to plenty of influence!
