    Adorable Attempt at a Crow for 8 week old Cockerel

    I just had to share this because it's too cute! "KnotHead" is 8 weeks old. He is from a Crested Cream Legbar Hen and Copper Maran Rooster. My daughter named him this because he has always had a knot on his head, right before his beak starts. All 3 guys are going to be joining their bigger flock...

    Dead Cock/Rooster from mating?

    I just found out that cockerels/roosters can die mating, what would cause that and how do you prevent it? I've also read that a rooster can kill a hen mating how?

    Rooster not at the top of pecking order?

    Is there any cases of full grown roosters and hens where the rooster is not at the top of the pecking order (in other words being pecked on by the hens)?

    They're both not crowing anymore??

    2 weeks ago our roosters had gotten something and we've been treating them for it so they're currently in quarantine. They were crowing every time the light was turned on and it was beautiful crowing. I'm the only one who likes the crowing so I'm really worried that something may be wrong. They...

    "Put a baby sock over the rooster's head"

    A co-worker in my husband's office says that a chicken keeper he knows swears by this method of keeping her rooster quiet. He says she slips it over his head at night when the roo's on the roost and takes it off in the morning when she's ready to let him crow. This chicken keeper says her...

    Why are they crowing in the dark?

    I've never had cockerels before, so this might be a dumb question.... but Why are they crowing while it’s still full dark out? He (one Sapphire boy) started this morning at 5:45, really picked up about 6am-7, shut up again from 7-7:30 (going hoarse?) it’s “just” starting to get light outside...

    Hi everyone, I am new here. I have a small coop including two hens and a rooster. The rooster's crow is very annoying since he crows a lot. I have heard about the NO CROW collar, but is there any other solution to stop him from crowing at least in the dawn? BTW, I was told by a villager that...

    Pip crowing!

    Hi, I posted a thread about this a few months ago when my LeghornxRIW [Pip] first started crowing. I is becoming an issue. She crows loudly every morning, and occasionally in the afternoon. She is getting very good due to practice, I was wondering if there are any ways to get her to shut up? She...

    1 rooster, 15 hens - why so much crowing?

    I have one Ayam Cemani rooster and 15 assorted hens on 1/3 acre. We live in the 'burbs and no one else around has chickens. I was hoping having a large harem and no competition would reduce his inclination to crow. My neighbors haven't said anything but the coop is near my bedroom window...

    Roosters and crowing

    So we have 4, maybe 5 roosters, of the 100% for sure roosters 3 crow, if I remove the 3 crowing roosters will the 4th one start crowing? Or do they tend to retain their original disposition when you remove the dominant roos? Because the quiet rooster, Clover, is really sweet and if he remains...

    My little man FINALLY started crowing! How often do they do it though?

    I’m soooo happy that my little Peaches is a cock! (Even though Peaches is kinda a girly name, I still like it) So now that he’s started crowing, how often do they do it? I know it’s not just in the morning, but is it like every 10 minuets? More/less? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!!

    Roosters crow at night?

    If all goes well, I will own a rooster soon. I think I have been more focused on possible aggression than other attributes. I did not know that roosters crow at night. Will they crow even if in their coop? Will a property light that is on all night long cause a rooster to crow? When I go out...

    It doesn't make sense to me ?

    I have mature Plymouth Rock roo (Gator), and a teenage SLW roo (Cajun) in same coop and run. Now Gator will let Cajun have his way with the ladies all day long, but you let Cajun try to crow and Gator is all over him Why is Cajun aloud to mate but gets beat up for crowing ?

    Any Tips on Rooster Collars for Bantams?

    Hi Everyone! We recently purchased the No Crow Collar for our bantam cochin rooster. I'm really hoping that it can help with the crowing to some degree, as we aren't allowed roosters where we live and he is very bonded to one of the other chickens in our flock. I'm wondering if anyone has...
