My roosters wont crow

[ALS1104]

i dont think my Roosters got the memo that theyre Roosters... they dont crow... i watch them constantly when i get home in the evenings and pretty much constantly all day on the weekends, and havent ONCE seen one of them attempt to mount or seduce one of the hens. i now have 9 hens and the 3 roosters. i even have a couple girls laying right now and none of the eggs have been fertilized. they dont attempt to flog or really even tussle over dominance at all...theyre kid of jerks when it comes to snack time- they try to hog all the treats but thats really just because theyre hogs. theyre 7 months old, still young i know... but NO rooster behavior at all... i was kind of hoping they would be trying to crow by now

Maybe they are late bloomers?
I have an all rooster flock currently. They used to be a flock with hens but the hens chose my older rooster as their mate. My boys took until about 7 or 8 months to crow. One rooster was crowing at 4 months and I thought he was a hen to start with. He crowed before the others that were older than him.

Pretty boy! Just give him a bit more time. I'm eager for my cocks to crow too.

Nope it would have to be an even swap... one that crows very very well and services the ladies without hurting them for a quiet shy one
