my 9ish month old rooster is kind of croaking/humming?

Today he is making a throaty, kind of croaking noise. Does this mean he is going to crow soon or something? Thanks

Certainly sounds like he's trying to crow - they are very "croaky" at first.
But nine months old? What breed is he? My 6-month old roo - a GORGEOUS Amauracuna/Silkie cross - has been crowing for over 2 months and took control of the flock over from his "daddies" several weeks ago.

I'm guessing he's getting ready to crow. Must be a late bloomer! I usually hear the first crow much younger than that. Around 4 months usually.

This little chap was crowing at 7 weeks old

Mine? Nope he is a Lavender Araucana (UK version)

I had three roosters this summer, one was snatched, he had been crowing for about a week, he was about 31/2- 4 months old..... but what is funny, is that the other two, just started to try and crow now, and they are nearly 6 months old. One is the same breed as the early crower. They are like kids, they grow at different rates!
