Boo .. i was really hoping i would have a broody hen !! How long before he should start crowing ?Roosters will sometimes go in nest boxes to encourage the hens to lay eggs there, yes. Sometimes there'll sleep in there too.
no bullying that I see .. But I'm sure it's different behind the coop !! But my other 2 roosters haven't started crowing either and they are Australorps and they are around 4/5 months oldDepends... It could be tomorrow or next month. If he's being bullied I doubt he'll be crowing soon
Well with multiple roosters when 1 starts to crow they'll all begin to crow.. You'll go from 0 crowers to 3 before you know it!![]()
