Shouldn't he be crowing by now?

[maggiemooscluckers]

I have a 14 week old dark brahma roo and he isn't letting out a peep yet. His tail feathers are well defined and he struts around like a roo but doesn't talk like a roo. When should I expect the first wake up call?

Each cockerel is an individual, just as humans are. I've had them begin crowing at 4 weeks (or attempt anyway!), and I have one currently that's 36 weeks and hasn't crowed. I also have another that I'm told will not crow until he's a year (a rare breed). I wouldn't worry, in any event! He'll crow when he's ready!
