when do bantams start crowing?

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

It really varies from rooster to rooster. Most start between the ages of 20-40 weeks old. I've never kept roosters so I'm not the best of help. You might try asking here as well https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/18/chicken-behaviors-and-egglaying

Good luck and welcome to our community!
 
Some very precocious cockerels try out they voices at 2-5 weeks of age. If there are grown roosters about, they may not crow while the elders are around.

It varies rooster to rooster. some crow as early as 4 weeks while others won't crow until 3-4 months.
