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.
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.
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.
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.

i believe a roster crows at dawn to wake up all the hens and also to protect its teritory. also another reason would be to warn animals thathe is awake and looking to see if any other animal is there.
A rooster is never too old to crow, he just might not do it as often.
no its not possible
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.

It depends. Some roosters start crowing when only 2 months old while others start at about 5 months old.
Some breeds, known as sex links, can be sexed at birth however the methods vary depending on the breed. Generally speaking, the combs of the roosters will be larger than that of hens of the same breed. By the time a rooster is about 4-6 months old you should hear them crow, which is the one way to tell for sure as hen don't crow.
This is actually not such strange behavior. If there is no rooster among the flock the dominant hen will often take the position of guardian of the flock and exhibit much of the role of a rooster. In some cases where the rooster is timid and not up to the job, a dominant hen will take over.
A male chicken is called a rooster. You can tell if it is a rooster or not once they are 4-6 months old. When they get to that age they will 1. Start to crow. 2. Grow spurs. ( Things on the back of their legs) and 3. Grow a comb.
Baby roosters are call cockerel chicks. A rooster is called a cockerel right up until its first year and will be a full grown Rooster after that time. Spurs should be noticeable from about 7 months old if the breed in fact does develop spurs.
A male chicken under a year old is a called a cockerel, a male chicken over a year old is called a cock or a rooster. A castrated male chicken is called a capon, but it is illegal to castrate a rooster in most parts of the world.
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.
