If you have another more dominate roo he may never.

Y and does it count if my black australop is the biggest of all of them

The roosters have a "pecking" order too. The alpha usually does most or all of the crowing. It is announcing his territory. Any roo under him may or may not crow, depends on if they get put in their place for doing so by the alpha. My neighbor has 2 roo's, one 3-4yrs old and the other 7mo old. The younger one is just now getting to crow, but not until they have been let out to free range. When in their coop, only the alpha crows. Size does not dictate who is alpha, I know many bantams that are alpha's over LF roosters. It is age and confidence and hormones. The leghorn will likely challenge for top spot eventually, Australorps tend to be docile so I would guess in time he will be the beta rooster.

oh so when can it take over and can i speed it up so that it will be the alph rooster

The change in the order may never happen. The roosters are individuals and personalities fall across the spectrum in all breeds. You might have an aggressive australorp and a passive leghorn. Why would you want to upset the pecking order and cause strife that may result in a bad situation?

Yes, why do you want this to happen? I get the feeling there is something you are not telling us.
