Young Roos and crowing

[Chickiepoo87]

Ok so I’m curious about different breeds of roosters and when they start crowing! I have a Mille fleur d’uccle that is fast maturing and started trying to crow this morning (so cute, never heard that before!!!) but I also have 3 silver laced polish outside that were supposedly pullets but we are pretty sure that one is a roo, he’s approximately 14 weeks...about 6 weeks older than the d’uccle. Anyone know when they start crowing? Or are we just crazy and they are pullets ?!? Lol

Can you try zooming up on the tail feathers and comb? A rooster will have luxurious tail feathers and a red comb at this age. They look like pullets at the moment.

I think it's a cockerel too, although I've never had Polish. Cockerels start trying to crow when they feel like it, and their age varies. My youngest ever was a 28 day old Fayoumi, who hadn't grown his neck feathers yet (they were stubs) and threw his little head back to squeak anyway. Adorable!
Enjoy your boys, love the d'Uccles.
