A cockerel will usually start to practice crowing at about 5 months old or sooner, especially if the alpha rooster is vocal. The young roosters often mimic the boss bird and answer to his calls.
Young roosters start to practice crowing at about 5 months old. Cockerels start to show gender specific behavior at about 4 weeks old but the first semi crowing behavior takes place about the same time as the hens are getting ready to lay the first eggs.
They start to "practice" at about 4 to 6 months old. They get full voice at about 8 to 10 months old.
Well my Rooster is about 8 weeks old now and he just started
Usually, they will start to crow about 5 or 6 months. For some individuals or breeds, they may start earlier or later than this.
DEPENDS ON THE ROOSTER! Some of mine start between 430 and 5 am. I have several roosters that are mixed up and crow all the way past midnight.
Banties will start to crow at about 5 months and older. At about the same time as the young hens (pullets) lay their first eggs the cockerels will begin to make the first crowing attempts.
between 3 and 4 months old
I have 6 chicks that are 4 months old today and cinco started to try to crow a few weeks ago uno started crowing today. You can tell by there names I can count in Spanish in the order they hatched.. lol Cinco's crow isn't what you would really call a "Crow" like he or she is trying but isn't getting it down yet so I am hoping that she's a male impersonator (which I have read are out there) seriously. And Uno's crow is an A+ rooster crow like he hold his head high and really belches it out. Definitely a rooster Mr. Cogburn (John Wayne movie) lol Hopefully this helped you.
No. Roosters crow when they see light, it's instinctive.
Roosters generally crow to protect the flock. While some individual roosters may crow less than others, there is no specific breed that is quieter.
Actually it is the rooster that crows, the hens sometimes make attempts to mimic the rooster but it comes out as a cackle. The reason the rooster crows is to communicate. He will crow to announce to the world that he is on guard and watching over his flock, he crows to let his hens (and other roosters hens) where he is and how to find him. They crow to warn of danger when a predator is spotted. He will crow in response to a hen announcing she has laid an egg. They often crow just to tell the world they are doing what roosters do.
Absolutely yes. The young rooster (cockerel) will make his first practice crows at about 3 to 4 months old and keep going from there. Even if he is the only male in the flock he will do this but if there already is a grown rooster among the hens the young one will mimic the old guy quite readily. Roosters use crowing to communicate and the two of them will voice their concerns back and forth all day.
A rooster is never too old to crow, he just might not do it as often.
no its not possible
Yes. When a rooster is killed, or dies of natural causes, it will no longer crow. You're welcome.
Crow
Roosters don't have to crow early in the morning. My rooster crows all day, and our neighbor's old chicken crowed all the time. They don't really crow in the morning.
Tape his beak

Roosters crow.
caw because a rooster makes a crow and a crow makes a caw so they are opposites.
It depends. Some roosters start crowing when only 2 months old while others start at about 5 months old.
When put outside, the rooster will most likely crow more. They crow at any time of the day or night, often to call to the other chickens. Also to warn of danger, challenge another rooster, etc. They don't crow just because the sun comes up, that's just when they first become active everyday.
Roosters crow. The crow of a rooster sounds like "Cock-a-doodle-doo."
