Rooster not crowing.

[Quavo]

I have 2 black australorps, Hen and Rooster. But the rooster doesn't crow, and doesn't mate. Not even serenades them

Can you post a full body profile picture of each bird?

 

[Quavo]

Ok

The picture is not a rooster.

The first picture is a young rooster. That breed is known to be a calm breed. Every chickens are individuals and don't necessarily have hormonal instinct, they need others in the flock to show them.

Oh, ok. So he needs a few more months?

Generally he should behave like a rooster at 7 months but each birds vary, based on how many are in a flock.

I have 25. And 1 young silkie rooster, but he serenades me.

Don't let the silkie do that to you, when it happens walk away. He's try to dominate you. That's the start of aggressive behavior.
