Overall Barnevelder development questions

[Ewe Mama2]

Hello, Barnie enthusiasts!

I have a few questions about my now 8 week old Barnevelders.

Ooops! I hit the wrong button!

1. At what age do the roos begin to crow (so far all I hear is peeping and I wondered if this was normal)?

2. At what age do the roosters need to be separated from each other? I think 7 of the 13 I hatched are roos, so I'm trying to be prepared for the road ahead.

3. Do the roos truly help raise the chicks, as the research I have looked into states?

I'm sure I will have more questions down the road! I appreciate your help.
