My roosters are about 4 months and neither of them has started crowing and none of them have tail sickles.

As the title said. I have 3 roosters about 4 months old and none of then have started crowing and none have their tail sickles yet. Is this normal? This is my first time raising chickens so I don't know if this is normal or not.

What breed are they. In my experience onset of crowing is frequently breed dependent.

I think it depends on the breed and rooster. They all crow at different ages and sometimes the sickle feathers come in later. Or are hard to see because of a specific pattern.
Most of my roosters have crowed around 12 weeks but my serama started at 5 weeks. My Brahma was way later than 12 weeks since they take longer to mature.

One rooster is an australorp, another a leghorn and one is a mix of three different breeds - old english, gamefowl and one more breed i forgot

When we had a Barred Rock Cockerel he didn’t start crowing until 5 months.

Wonder if the combs and wattles should be bigger by 4 months
