When?

When will my ROO start CROOOWWWINNNGG!! I mean I know most people would prefer thier roo not crow, but we live in the country and my daughter is anxious to hear her Rolo crow. He is 4 1/2 months old...thanks!

At 4 1/2 months I would think he would have already been crowing! I don't own a rooster so I don't have any experiences, but I do read a lot here, and most say their roosters started to crow at different ages. Most way before 4 1/2 months. Has he started to "practice" his crowing? Maybe you have a pullet?

Ours is just over 4 months (Light Sussex) and still not crowing. He seems to give it a try now and then, but nothing discernible. We've had three others that started crowing at 5-6 weeks, so I'm kinda glad he's being different

I have a 4 month old cockerel and he does not crow. I also have a 'supposed' rooster that is 8 months old and is not crowing. I do doubt the older one is really a roo at all, but it's different for every roo.

Cherish the silence while you have it

Well first off, I am sure he is a definite ROO...We have a pullet also that is a Barneveldor...She is definitely a Hen and Rolo is Definitely a ROO...I have a pic of him if I could ever figure out how to post them on here...anyways..he isn't even practicing...or trying. One of our neighbors has a roo and I hear him all the time and think maybe Rolo might try to answer him. but no go...hmmm....

Not Rolo, but looks exactly like him

It can be anytime from three weeks to twelve months, just depends on the rooster.

Ok...so I won't stress it

Thanks!
