When will a rooster start crowing?

[AmericanMom]

Then maybe I will hear mine soon or will an adult Rooster cause them to keep quiet for a bit longer?? Got a Silkie Mix and an EE thats just turned 13 weeks

We don't know if our Pullet is a rooster (I hope not, we live in the city) here's a pic

please tell me if it's a hen or rooster.

That is a pullet.

OMG! The first time he made noise I thought "somebody just stepped on his foot" But the second time was unmistakable!

All I can say is OMG! What breed may I ask?

From looking at the comb it looks female to me... however, a backside picture should tell you more... how old is the pullet?

I'll get to the backside pics later. They are 7 weeks old.

He is a welsummer.

That has got to be the most adorable thing I've ever seen!

As far as when they crow, I had one EE roo crow at like six weeks old. Two crowed at about two months. One still hasn't at four months and the other only crows when his food bowl is empty in the morning. And he's four months old too.

My lord

That was SO cute! When I showed that to my mother, who is rather indifferent regarding my chicken... er.... obsession, had to admit that that was really adorable!

I agree. I have heard of chickens crowing at 3 weeks... one day... and going past 7 months. It depends on the roo. More aggressive or "manly" roos crow sooner in my experience, but that's not a rule, it's just that if he's very docile you have no way of knowing, but if he's rather hyper it may be very soon.
