This is our special rooster "Skip", he is our direct son from Captain, who is a Original Import from England.
Skip is a Pure English Silver Laced Orpington, we are looking forward to releasing his off springs in the near future for the first time.

My "GertrudeJerry"...bought her for a hen at 5 months old only to find out now hes a rooster lol!!!
 
Beautiful boys. While I love our hens I have to admit that I have a soft spot for the boys.

I finally heard our youngest boy crow this morning. He's about 20 weeks old. #4 of 4 roosters and I was starting to worry a bit about him as I had yet to hear him crow with the other roosters in the morning. Well, this morning I heard him boom out a perfect crow. No messing around 'learning how to carry a tune' for this rooster. His voice matches his size. Now If he would start courting a hen or two life would be perfect!

yeah, i have that problem too! i have 2 6- month old boys, a sultan and a silkie. They have not definitivly crowed yet, but yesterday I heard a slightly diffierent crow sounding from the coop than my wyandotte boys. do you guys think it was one of the two cockerels? One is STILL peeping, (the sultan) so I don't think it was him. is it possible it was my silky??
 
Our two Welsummer roosters were the first to crow at about 18 weeks and then Mr Red started crowing the same week. Larry Bird is just such a big boy that I expected him to crow around the same time if not sooner. Now you can't shut him up. Every time a hen lays an egg, he crows and he crows and he crows. He's definitely mimicking the Welsummer boys and has a bit of a warble to his crow but he is throwing a lot of lung into it.

Being the youngest in the flock, he's still taking a lot of guff from the hens and being bossed around by them. If he follows suit with the other roosters, in about two weeks he's going to be dancing circles around them.....literally I hope.
