This is a natural thing for a rooster to do.
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.
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.
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.

Well you have two situations where a chicken says "Cock-a-doodle-do". [1] The chicken looks like a rooster, sounds like a rooster and acts like a rooster. [2] The chicken really looks like a hen, but it is crowing. What's up? It could be either of two situations: (a) the rooster has delayed rooster feathering, and his crowing ability preceeded his beautiful male dress or (b) there is a genetic condition called "hen feathered" where the rooster will always look like a hen, even though he can crow and does mount the hens.
One view: * No, if they eat and defecate regularly and continue with their normal behavior without the crowing, you need not be concerned. Another view: * My rooster stops crowing in the winter. Yet Another View: * You don't need to worry you may in fact have two hens that some times crow and have not started to lay eggs yet.
The possessive form for the noun rooster is rooster's.
A rooster only needs to breed the hen one time for her to be able to lay fertile eggs for 2 or 3 weeks. Also The passage of the sperm up the oviduct is rather slow so it may be a few days after the first encounter before the egg is viable. If you are introducing a new rooster to the flock and there are no other males give the birds some time before collecting eggs for incubation. 10 days should ensure all the eggs collected are viable.
Including the start and end months in the calculation, there are 7 months between the two months.

No. The presence of a rooster will not effect the number of eggs a pullet will lay. She will lay fertile eggs with a rooster present but not more. This is often a question asked and a rooster does not effect rate of lay.
