My rooster just started crowing, when will he be able to fertilize?

Just wondering if it correlates. Since he is crowing will he start trying to mate? He isn't even 20 weeks yet.

Im wondering the same thing

I have one that crowed at 8 weeks , one that crowed at 9 weeks, and one that is 17 weeks and still hasn't crowed. Strangely, the non crower is the most mature looking.

All three of my boys are just over 16 weeks and all will literallly pounce on anything that will stand still long enough

, they have also mastered what my husband and I call the Roody Shuffle.( Roody is my little man ) This is his pre-mating dance.

My two 17 week olds are trying, but the girls aren' t having any part of it yet.
