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.

How old is a rooster when he crows?
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.

Why do chicken crow?
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.
Will a baby rooster crow around an old rooster?
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.

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.
