    2.5 month old crowing

    Hello, We have an Ayam Cemani who we thought was a hen but has recently started crowing. Our chickens are only 2.5 months old is this typical? It doesn't crow the full cock a doodle doo, it's more of a half crow. Is this how they first start? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a...

    Rooster collars/socks??

    I have a 3 month old silver sebright roo and he's my only roo out of 14 chickens but he crows NON. STOP. From 5am to 10am and then once every 20 mins for the rest of the day. The rest of my family wants to get rid of him but I love him and he's so sweet, so I'm seeking alternative ways to keep...

    Anti Barking Devices For Rooster Crowing

    Has anyone tried to use an anti barking device made for dogs (that hangs on trees or in this case the coop) to help keep their rooster from crowing in the middle of the night and early in the morning? I looked into it and a dogs bark and a roosters crow are close to the same htz and even the...

    Non-Crowing Rooster

    Hey! I have a rooster that is about 15 weeks old. He has yet to crow, doesn’t even try. Are there some breeds that don’t? Or should I be looking for signs of illness? He seems prefectly heathy.

    Silkies and Crow Collars

    Hi Fellow Chicken Enthusiasts, My partner got two silkie chicks for his backyard coop earlier this summer. One he has suspicions MIGHT be a rooster. He is completely in love with this chick and we are hoping to keep it till we can MAYBE start our farm/homestead. As such, we need to try and...

    Polish roo crowing- frequency and loudness?

    I have a 14-week-old buff laced Polish that just started crowing a few days ago. His first time was in the afternoon right after trying to mount a pullet. He crowed about 5 times in a row (each getting better). It was loud, but not horribly loud. He crowed when my husband went outside the next...

    9.5 week White leghorn a rooster

    This morning I went outside and my son’s white leghorn crowed 3 times. It’s the first I’ve heard it. So, I guess I have to find it a new home. So sad. We only have 4 chickens, so it wouldn’t be safe to keep him, right? I hope the others are all Hens. I know hens can crow sometimes, but it...

    Rooster crowing with his beak closed?

    Hi! New here but have been reading the forums for a few years. Usually I can find the answers I need pretty easily but this one is a little tricky. I've got a buff Orpington rooster who has just recently started crowing in the past few days. You can barely hear him even when you are outside and...

    Do Rooster Silkies have combs?

    Just wondering what the color of the comb of a blue silkie and white silkie is? I can’t pinpoint which one or two are crowing. But I think it’s the one with a black waddle and no comb. I have two with black waddles and one with red comb and waddle.

    Cockerel Crowing

    I have what is probably a silly question about cockerels crowing.... Is it possible to have a cockerel that only crows maybe a few times in the morning and that be it and continue that behavior on into maturity? Or do their crowing patterns usually change? And are there some rooster breeds that...

    10 week old Easter Egger started crowing??

    Hi. We are new to backyard chickens and have an easter egger who was trying to crow this morning. We are hoping to only have hens in our coop for various reasons. I am hoping someone can help tell me if we have a hen or roo on our hands.

    Do EE/Ameraucana Roosters crow a lot??

    Hi guys!! So, I have a quick question. We just figured out that one of our EE/Ameraucana chicks is actually gonna be a roo, so we wanted to know how quiet they typically are. I get that all roosters have different personalities, and Archimedes is actually really sweet as far as petting and...

    2 months old and crowing

    I purchased a “sexed hen” from a hatchery, he/she/it is 2 months old and has just started call and redonse crowing with my 4 week old barred rock bantam rooster. She’s my first polish chick and I have no clue how to sex them. If she’s crowing does that definitely mean she’s a rooster??

    Easter egger chick crowing at 5 weeks

    Is it possible that my 5 week old Easter Egger chick is crowing? He/She is a little bigger that the other "girls" and seems to be dominant.

    HEN CROWING?! Does she think she's a rooster or what?!

    Our new hen was impatient to be let out this afternoon. We'd just let her out for a wander around the yard and she wanted to be let out again, but we thought we'd wait another hour or so. At first she was just making her typical 'let me out' noises (a sort of rrawwwk noise) and then suddenly she...

    Yes or No to No-Crow Collar?

    We have hatched some Lavender Araucana chicks that are now 9 days old. I plan to raise them all to 16-18 weeks, sell 7 and keep two to add to our existing flock. I would love to keep a rooster but we do have neighbours. I would be very interested to hear the opinions of those of you who have...
