why isnt my rooster crowing yet?

[Rookie Raiser]

i have a 2 almost 3 month old rhode island red rooster and it still isnt crowing. i always heard that roosters should start crowing at 2 months, but he is past that. i have tried making crowing sounds at him and playing crowing sounds on my phone but he isnt responding to them. is there something else i should try??

here are pics of him to confirm that he IS a rooster

Ha. Give him time. I have a NH Red Rooster and a Buff Orpington rooster. The NH Red started crowing at 9-10 weeks. I thought my Buff was a mute, or maybe just intimidated by his loudmouth companion. But alas, he's definitely NOT a mute, and he eventually started showing off his pipes like a champion, but not until a good 2 months after the other one - somewhere around 5 or 6 months old!

Now we have a duet at sunup, every day...rain or shine.

for what its worth,I have a 2 year old rooster that dosent crow.
I think it has something to do with pecking order/self esteem.

Do you have a full body photo? I'm not familiar with the breed, and it clearly has more comb than the other chickens in the photo, but I would maybe think a roo would have more comb than that at 3 months?

And lucky you ny mason! I wish my little silkie roo didnt crow! At least hopefully he wont get any louder (hes still only a baby)
