Not sure but if it helps, Mr Stanley Roosterface started last week some time, at 10 weeks. Not a full crow yet, sounds like an antique car horn but he's getting better at it.

thank you and it does help and that unusual name lol

Does anyone know at what age does a young roo start to crow ?Mine just started today and u am wanting to know his age and he is large fowl.

My Crested Cream Legbar Rooster named Zax is 9 weeks old today. He crowed around 8 weeks like 2 times and has not crowed since. And it did sound more like a weird squak than anything else.

I'd them start crowing from 12 days old to 5 months old! Just depends on the individual rooster and sometimes on his situation. Is he top rooster? Are there other roosters or is he an only boy? What breed, etc. So, no real way to tell how old he is by his crowing.

Me too!!! I think I am going to bring my Bantam Mottled Cochin Roo. Well I think it's a roo.

You tell me....



The cochins were hatched on 04/11 so tomorrow they will be 7 weeks old.

Cute! I would say roo. Big pink comb for 7 weeks!

Have another question, if you have one or two hens laying and the others not old enough to start laying do I need to buy two feed, Starter / Growth and also layer pellets or can I get buy with just one and if so which one. Would assume their is about 4 week different in age of the chickens ( laying vs no laying ) Thanks anybody for any help.

Ha! That name started out as just Stanley. Actually Dorothy, but for obvious reasons it got changed. I was going to call him Dick, but my husband vetoed that. They were supposed to be The Golden Girls(I know, not so original LOL) but since 'she' turned out to be a dude, someone here (possibly Robo or Papa Chaz?) said ''Call him Stan" so it just stuck. But then I started calling him every other nickname and eventually Stanley Roosterface just stuck. I still call him all kinds of silly things. The Rooster Formerly Known As Dorothy(that one's hash tagged on IG)Sweet Face, Rooster Face, Poopy Feet, Stinky McStinkster, etc. You get the idea. Total weirdo.

This is him. We sit on the porch at night sometimes. I can't keep away from him because he is so sweet. He got very sick when he was 2 weeks old and he spent every waking moment with me until he was well again. Now he is the biggest of them all and comes right to me when I go to check on them in the morning. He does not crow until I come out to visit.

so glad you asked this! I have some that are 11 weeks and some that are 1-2 weeks. I was wondering the same.
