When do roos begrin to crow?

[Stevo]

My ten week old spek sussex was makin the funniest noise this morning. I was ROTF. Sounded more like a roar then a crow. Is he trying to crow allready or was he being stung by a bee? lol

Sounds like he was trying to crow

my earliest crower was 8 weeks old.

My ten week old "I think she is a pullet" started crowing this week! I hear that hens will do that. Here is her picture, do you have a picture of your roo? On anther post, she was voted to look very henish. Does she look like your roo ath this age??

BYW, Speckled Sussex roos are gorgeous when mature, you are lucky you can have one!

Oh dear

Oh well, I do like the SS roos

My EE looks like she is a roo too. That's two out of six. Maybe I can keep the SS and find a home for the EE.
Shucks.

in my experience the youngest crow at 6 weeks and the oldest at about 18! we thought the little silkie "pullet" was a she.... now "she's" head rooster!

My giant cochin roo didn't bother crowing until he was almost a year old. We thought we had the ever sought after silent rooster utnil he fianlly threw back his head and roared one out.

We have this little splash silkie guy that was still in the brooder box in the house - I was sitting at the pc and heard this strange noise - looked behind me - yep! The little guy was crowing and continued to do so on a regular basis until we moved him outside. It kept us entertained - little scratchy chickie crow. NEVER had one crow that young - not even 4 weeks old yet. I'm still stunned!
