Different breeds mature at different rates and usually I would say start trying to crow around 10 or 12 weeks but then I keep large fowl that are slower to mature.

Others that keep d'Anvers might be able to help a little more but I certainly wouldn't worry

Hi Tony,

bantams certainly seem to mature quicker than large fowl,and,Bertie say a big 'hi'.He tried crowing to you yesterday,but I guess you didn't hear him :lol: .
