When does a RIR typically start crowing?

[Nicole01]

My Gyspy Rose is a RIR. Since she has had a red comb and wattles since 5 weeks, I strongly think she is a he. Perhaps I'm wrong and she is maturing early. Gyspy is 8-9 weeks now and around her beak is red also and her comb is 100% dark red. I am keeping Gyspy until the day she/he crows. I want to make sure first before rehoming. She is the leader of the flock and makes sure everyone behaves. Gyspy has challenged me 3-4 times now when I had my back turned. I've been pecked hard once and stomped/pushed over the other times with both feet. If I keep face forward at all times, she is sweet as can be. Gyspy loves to be held and talks to me in her quiet voice. I am still holding on to hope that my RIR is a girl, but I think I'm in partial denial.

When do RIR typically crow? Thanks.

Oh, this is my 17 year old daughters bird. It's getting too late to replace Gyspy with another.

If you post a picture we can confirm for you. Sounds like a roo though.

Crowing is an individual thing. I've had some not crow until 14 weeks or later, some that have crowed within DAYS of hatching.

They all crow at different ages.

My RIR has only crowed once. It was about 3 weeks ago when he was 8 weeks old. I don't think he meant too, though, because it happened while he was lying down and he got stepped on by one overly active pullet. I think it surprised him as much as it did me.

I haven't heard it since then and he's 11 weeks now.
