Crowless rooster or late bloomer?

[freerangefowl]

Americana rooster almost 7 months old, raised from chick. I don't have any other roos. He's never once crowed but protects and breeds his 14 hens. Coops close enough to house we would definitely hear it if it happened.

I bought all pullets because I don't like the noise but ended up with one turning out to be a roo, did I just get lucky or think it's a late bloomer?

If he's mating he's bloomed. You may have just lucked out that your Easter Egger cockerel is on the quiet side.
Could he be crowing pre-dawn and you just don't hear him in the house? I can't hear my roosters crowing unless I'm awake and in the living room and then just barely.

You just got lucky, because that bird is definitely male.
