    Crow sound of different breeds

    Crow sound of different breeds

    Yes! I personally find it hard to tell what (or if ?) crow is annoying for itself. The hen is for sure very special. She allways had to clap her wings when she crowed. It was a time when the rooster passed to another breeder (very rare breed) and the young roosters where still to small to know...

    Crow sound of different breeds

    Visiting many exhibitions and breeders I figuerd out that most chicken breeds have their breed-distinctiv crow sound. This could be an argument if you choose a certain breed - for you and your neighbors. Some crows sound nice, gentle and deep. Other crows sound (maybe?) a bit annoying. My...

    ***Crevecoeur Thread***

    Hello there. Info from Europe: The European / german Standard does NOT call for any kind of earlobes Color. "We" determined that for the earlobes the Color is frivolous because it is hidden and not seen anyway. If your Polish correspond to the german "Paduaner" then they are quite close to the...
