Jersey Giant rooster and hens. When will he crow and do what a roo do

[Country Living Farm]

Ok. Rooster is aobut 6 months old and so are the hens. Some are laying but not all!!!!!When will they start laying reg....... Also, the roo, does not know he is a roo. All of the hens have pulled out his tail feathers!! He will fight with another roo if I put it in the pen but he will NOT do what a roo was meant to do!!!!! When will he start!!! Should I show him a nice Movie with rooster and hen..... :} Anyways, if you have giants, how old were they when they started laying reg and the rooster was being the boss of the pen.

I don't know the answers to your questions so here is a bump

I don't know for sure when, but I think at 6 mos mine were not doing much either. They were slow to crow and slow to develop comb. I thought they were hens for the longest. time. I only hatched out 3 from a dozen eggs, and all were roosters, and they were too big for all my hens, so I had to give them away.

I think they say that the larger breeds take a little longer. I'd give him another month or so to "man up" if nothing maybe you need a new roo.

My roo was a good 9 mths before I saw him do the roo dance.
A lot of my hens didn't lay well till 10 mths. But on the up side, when they did start, most of mine were double yolkers for a month or more.
