:) we're a little more suburban, and I guess out of respect try to keep our roosters quiet (we're allowed them though) and I find the faint sound of my rooster in the morning... I know a lot of people wouldn't though xD
Competition makes sense. We had our first 2 roosters and they were quite closely matched so there was a bit of fighting and a lot of crowing. Like I said with our second Light Sussex also being quiet, there wasn't really any competition so I guess that's why they didn't crow much :/
I put this in this section because I guess it's got to do with chicken behaviours.
We have a Light Sussex rooster and have managed to keep him from crowing. I don't know if it's the breed of more the individual, but I've heard bantams tend to crow throughout the day.
What we do is each evening...
