Oh! I'm actually brand to chickens but I thought all roosters crow.

All roosters will crow eventually minus the outliers. I had roosters that grew up together and only one ever crowed, the dominant one. The other 2 never did for many many months. I rehomed the dominant one and sure enough the next in line started crowing. After I rehomed him the last one became the dominant one and began crowing. Your little guy will surely start crowing at one point or another. Good luck!

If Boo is a rooster than why hasn't he began to crow like his buddy, Roo is?

If you were a middle school kid hanging around an older teenager who might beat you up if you mouthed off, would you mouth off? It's not unusual for beta males to crow later and less frequently than alphas.

Boo and Roo are the same age. I do also have a RIR rooster, Mr. Rooster who is 3-4 years old.

All the more reason for him to try and blend into the scenery.

Yup! Looks like an EE to me! Also looks like a pullet, but the red feather on the wings are confusing, as that normally means cockerel!

I would say EE Cockerel...because of the wing color..How old ?

Mr. Rooster doesn't bother Boo but chases after Roo all the time seeing how Roo is chasing the hens and ............. doing what roosters are supposed to do.
Here is a couple of pics of the newest ones:

First pic is of Munchkin who is about 3 1/2 weeks old.
Second pic is of the newest member who is about a week old.

Boo and Roo were given to me (when they were around 13 weeks old) on May 21st. So I'm thinking they are around 6 1/2 months.

Munchkin and the newest one are both BO / RIR cross.
