Make sure you have them in an area that's as dark as possible. Even a streetlight will keep them going. Or if you visit them at night with a flashlight. That will get them going as well.
There is no "certain" time of day that roosters crow. Many things can cause a roosters alarm to sound off; things in the enviroment, and intruder, having a "crowing fight" with the rooster down the street, etc
== == All of my roosters start crowing around 5-6 months old. Roosters will usually make their first attempt at crowing between 5 and 8 weeks old. At that time the males in the flock will also start trying to establish dominance over the other roosters of the same age.Even the adult rooster gets challenged which always results in a quick tail kicking and a dash for cover for the upstart. This is usually the point when the culling begins and those feisty little upstarts are either off to the freezer or to another farm.
Silkie bantam roosters have a reputation for being relatively quiet compared to other breeds, but they can still crow and make noise. In a city setting, they may not be the best choice if noise is a concern, as they can disturb neighbors, especially in the early morning hours. It's essential to check local ordinances and regulations regarding keeping roosters in urban areas.
That is a most interesting question and one that probably has several factors. One that is most significant in my opinion has to do with the hormone that makes all birds sing, or in this case crow. The hormone is testosterone. In the early hours of morning a rooster's testosterone level probably goes up- along with some others. Biologists have a theory that birds sing or crow to let other birds know where they are so they can space themselves far enough apart so they don't overcrowd each other. You could think of this a defending their territory, and rooster are very protective of their hens. They often fight to the death with other roosters. So we might interpret the rooster crowing at the beginning of the day to clear out rival males by crowing really loud and scaring them away. They do this in the daytime because they sleep at night and would not engage in battle in the darkness since they are diurnal, active in the daytime. Roosters crow to announce their presence to possible rivals, they communicate their whereabouts to both their own hens who may be off foraging and to entice hens from other flocks to join them.
