Swedish Flower Hen Roos?

I've got a new crower and it's wonderful! He has a 3 note crow that sounds like a very deep voiced mourning dove vs. a chicken. It's positively melodious. Is this normal for this breed?

Could you get a video of him crowing? Upload the video to YouTube and post the link here.

I'll try in the morning, he's very considerate as well.

How old is he?

 

[Tonyroo]

I have 5 cockerels that are almost 3 months old. One in the group is squeaking in the mornings. Then there's 4 in another group that are almost 2 months old they stay quiet.

Then there his father who does all the crowing.

He's 12-13 weeks old. He was born April 4.

He just sounds weird because he's young and learning how to crow.

He's probably making the same noise as my little one.

BTW there adult crow sounds more like scream rather than a cock a doodle do.

I'm not 100% convinced. I've had a lot of roos grow to crowing age, and there's a clear difference here. He sounds very polished, he's not struggling at all, he's not in any way squeaky or "rough" sounding. I hope he keeps it, it's so pleasant!
