When do roosters begin to crow??I NEED TO KNOW

[MissyMoo]

When do roosters begin to crow?? we have a pullet who is a bantan cross (we are not sure exactley what kinds) and it is 4 months old andjust started crowing and we dont want a rooster!!!

Guess he answered your question, for him,,,, about 4 months.

Your answer is: when they start.

As you've now learned, for your bantam it is at 4 months.

Crowing is obvious and soon makes the sex of the bird known. Now you know what youve got, at least. What you'll do about it is another matter, I suppose.

We had one that began crowing at around 2 weeks old. I'm told that's rare though.
here a video of cinnamon at 3 weeks crowing his heart out.

Your cinnamon looks like my Ginger only his comb is much taller...still holding out hope that she is indeed a pullet

Earliest I had was five DAYS and latest was 15 weeks, so pretty much anytime they feel the urge.

I got two. One is aprox. 15 weeks and the other is 8 weeks old and both started crowing at the same time

One is a Polish the other some kinda bantam, lol.

Charlie (Silkie) has just started practicing his crow... if you can call it that! Pretty sad really

well I have 3 that are 24 weeks old and have never crowed and then another that is 21 weeks old and has not crowed either. I also have 1 that came from the same hatch as the other 3 24 week old ones and he won't shut up!(lol) I thought they should have been crowing by now but they aren't
