what age does a australorp start crowing
Hormones play a big factor in how they behave. A rooster will usually start crowing and trying to mount hens by about 10 months to a year in age. However, by hand raising a rooster, it helps (but doesn't guarantee) that you'll have a docile, friendly adult rooster.hat being said, I've never met a nice Australorp rooster. The ones I've been in contact with are very big and very mean. After the age of 18 months, most end up in the stew pot. I'm not a big fan of that breed.
