Mollie333 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I have four definate fertile eggs, who should hatch 4th july.. They're light Sussex Large fowl.. What age and breed were your cockerels when they first started to crow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Most of the ones I have bred have started crowing after 12 weeks or so, some as young as 7 weeks One brave little soul crowed at a matter of days old in the brooder though They crow pretty quietly to start with so when they start to crow you have time to react (rehome or otherwise..) before they are loud enough to start annoying people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Thats what i'm thinking. I can 'rear' them untill they crow loud, then back to my dads friend and will be rehomed with about 50 of light sussex ladies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
