Rooster Info - HELP

[alyxl02]

Hi,
I have three, three week old chicks and I'm almost certain I have a least 1 roo. I wanted to know a little bit more about them.

Can anyone answer these questions?:

1. When do roosters start crowing?

2. What age can you be certain that they are a rooster (from signs)?

3. When do they start to fertilize the eggs?

4. If I have 2 roosters, will they fight?

Thanks

1 usually in 3 or 4 months.
2 usually about 4 or 6 weeks by there combs thers will grow real fast and hens won't.
3 Between 4 and 6 months.
4 Mine have never fought if they are brothers or have been together while they were younge.
Hope that should help you.
