How old was your rooster...

My silkie crowed at about 12 weeks and my sebright started at 16 weeks. All my neighbors love to hear them crow. The sebright still working on his. He still sounds like a broken whistle. The silkie has a strong long crow.

A lot of these chickens seem to be crowing early! My modern Game cockerel didn’t start crowing until about 8 months!!

My oldest to crow was around 17-20 weeks I can’t remember. I thought he would be the first one to start laying an egg . I bought 17 EE pullets and one showed being a rooster by two weeks old and started crowing by four weeks. Whelp my second rooster didn’t get his combs and wattles till after all the girls laid. I found out by posting on here it was a late bloomer rooster by posting on here about when the last of my girls would start laying. Separated him from the other rooster after he bloomed because of fighting.

I have an iffy SS. It is 4 months old today, same age as my Welsummer cockerel... I am still waiting on the crow. This is partially why I asked how old y'all's roos were when they started lol... Some say it is a hen some say a roo... I am just sitting back waiting for it to tell me lol

I love reading y'all's rooster stories! So many people don't/can't have roosters so it is so nice to hear about them!

Sometimes roosters are a blessing sometimes a curse. I have a Turken rooster and he has a deep crow that he doesn’t finish and I used to have a bantee game roo who skipped the middle part of the crow and would pause then finish it.

Ringo hatched April 1. He began practicing his song at exactly 8 weeks. 7:30 on a Sunday morning. We thought someone was stuck in a fence or in trouble, but nope, just the cockerel declaring himself. For a while he stuck with the 7:30 thing, now he begins at 5:30 a.m. and continues through the day... fun stuff <G>.
