One of our spring 2013 SLW was a rooster and he crowed at about 8 weeks and was crowing loudly by 10 weeks. He crown (actually its a rose) and waddles where not much more developed than the SLW hen but his legs where much thicker and his tail was up high much of the time as opposed to a hen who tail was/is often down. Before he even crowed there was lots of chest bumping and it wasn't just with him but six of the eight chicks in the whole junior flock. It did turn out he was the only rooster The bumping stopped as soon had he went to his now home. I got lucky and found a farmer in need of a new rooster and I just heard he is already doing his "job" at 16 weeks! As for crowing hens, we actually have one but she didn't start crowing until she was much older.
