There is no "certain" time of day that roosters crow.

How often do roosters crow?
I always thought that they crowed only when the sun was rising; however, when my neighbour decided to start raising chickens, his rooster was crowing about every 10 minutes all day.
When do roosters mostly crow?
== == All of my roosters start crowing around 5-6 months old. Roosters will usually make their first attempt at crowing between 5 and 8 weeks old. At that time the males in the flock will also start trying to establish dominance over the other roosters of the same age.Even the adult rooster gets challenged which always results in a quick tail kicking and a dash for cover for the upstart. This is usually the point when the culling begins and those feisty little upstarts are either off to the freezer or to another farm.
Why would a rooster stop crowing?
Roosters crow due to a biological signal which sends signals to the brain. It is the same type of signal that helps a human body return to a normal temperature 1 hour before waking up or water lillies to close their leaves before the sun rises. The problem you are experiencing with your rooster may be a result of this signal no longer firing. It could be an age thing, sickness or disorientation. Also, if a rooster is not sleeping well throughout the day, exhaustion could be a factor. Lastly, scientists believe that crowing is a way roosters mark territory (like dogs urinating on everything). If there is no perceived competition to protect its hens, coop or territory - it may neglect to crow at all. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but your question didn't have any supporting context or facts.
Why do roosters wake up so early?
That is a most interesting question and one that probably has several factors. One that is most significant in my opinion has to do with the hormone that makes all birds sing, or in this case crow. The hormone is testosterone. In the early hours of morning a rooster's testosterone level probably goes up- along with some others. Biologists have a theory that birds sing or crow to let other birds know where they are so they can space themselves far enough apart so they don't overcrowd each other. You could think of this a defending their territory, and rooster are very protective of their hens. They often fight to the death with other roosters. So we might interpret the rooster crowing at the beginning of the day to clear out rival males by crowing really loud and scaring them away. They do this in the daytime because they sleep at night and would not engage in battle in the darkness since they are diurnal, active in the daytime. Roosters crow to announce their presence to possible rivals, they communicate their whereabouts to both their own hens who may be off foraging and to entice hens from other flocks to join them.

What are roosters useful for?
Roosters serve various purposes. Naturally, they are needed for breeding with hens. Also, they are commonly eaten by humans and other predators as a food source and their bones and skin are a staple for making soup broth. They are also used to wake up the farmyard, especially in bygone days before alarm clocks, as roosters would crow in early morning and throughout day. As well, roosters are territorial and will alert farmers to predators by crowing if not chasing anyway the smaller ones themselves by cries, puffing themselves up, charging and scratching. This aggressive strain is exploited and makes yet another use for roosters, that of cock-fighting, where roosters are put into small rings or enclosures to fight with the spectators placing bets on which shall emerge the victor. Roosters also serve as symbolic creatures in religion and culture. The rooster, for instance, is popularly known as one of the twelve animals in the Chinese calendar.
