When does a roo stray trying to mate mine is at least seven months old and just started crowing what behaviors should I look for and how do i make sure I don't get a bunch of un needed baby chicks I'm not ready for that lol

You won't get baby chicks unless the eggs are incubated 21 days. At 7 months of age he is sexually mature.

Ok Thanks I haven't seen any sings of him mounting or anything is there somthing wrong with him lol???

Maybe he's shy.

Chicken eggs don't just spontaneously develop and hatch. Fertile eggs can be treated just like infertile eggs. Without incubation, there will be no chicks.
I've had 10 week old cockerels successfully mount hens. And I've had 8 month olds that never really could figure out how to get into position.

I think there are real things to worry about. I have never known of a rooster who did not get the message.
