Gender

Looks like a cockerel to me, if you're talking about the dark bird. Age of crowing varies from bird to bird. Some breeds take months to mature and won't crow until they are over five months old. Others start crowing at 6 weeks old or sooner.

I agree with sourland on the genders.

when do males start crowing

Male chickens typically start crowing at 4-5 months, however there are always exceptions. Some have been known to crow as early as 2 months and others have not crowed until they were nearly a year old.
 
I've had bantam cockerels crow while still in the brooder, and large fowl cockerels that did not crow until nearly a year old.

Agreed.
