It can happen. Sometimes they just over use the crow and get "hoarse".
The rooster may also be slightly ill and have a mucus build up. Check his beak area and nostrils for mucus and if he seems to have crusty build up around the beak and or eyes put two tablespoons of cider vinegar into each gallon of drinking water (no more than 2 tbls). Keep this in the water for 3 days and stop. Cider vinegar helps clear up mucus and will help restore his crowing ability. You can also buy a water soluble tonic with medication for this problem.
This is a natural thing for a rooster to do.
No. Roosters crow when they see light, it's instinctive.
The rooster could be ill, it could be the wrong season ( crowing is part of setting up territories and calling females into his group, if it is not breeding season his male hormones will drop and he will have no desire to crow) Or He could be a beta rooster - if there is more than one rooster on the property at least one will always be alpha doing most of the crowing, others down the pecking order may just stay quiet, accepting that they are not at the top of the pecking order.
We have two that share the same hatch date. One started crowing around 5 months old. The other not until almost 8 months old. I suppose there is a standard, but my roosters were to stubborn to follow it.
