I am a first timer, but my chickens just started clucking within the last few weeks. They are 16-17 weeks old.

Mine started clucking at 10 weeks and are full blown bawking at 12 weeks.

I got my 1st quack from our almost 4week old duck yesterday, it was adorable, can't wait for the Clucks from the chickens!!!

I'm a first-timer also, mine are 10 weeks old. A couple have started to cluck, one has started a quiet bwwaaaak, and they all still peep. Enjoy your peeps.

I was wondering the answer to this as well, my 3 older sexlink girls and my 4 orpingtons all started clucking around 2 months old and it didn't take long to get to bawking, maybe another week. In fact the orps just turned 2 months old this week and have been clucking about 1 week now, so maybe more like 7 weeks for them . . . .

My birds started cackling between 2 and 3 months.

Mine are 11 weeks and out of the six of them only two don't peep.

My older pullets are 17 weeks, and while they mostly cluck at each other, they do still make a peeping noise at each other when they're doing certain activities; like dust bathing.

Mine must be late bloomers, they started making big girl noises at about 18-20 weeks old.
