    Roosters Crow When Dad is Around?

    I have noticed something rather odd about my roosters, they don't crow when I work around them such as cleaning and are quiet, but when my dad is in the room, all of the sudden they will start crowing and won't stop until a few minutes after he leaves the room or if I hold them for a while to...

    Rooster? The surprise fowl!

    When we brought home this "buff oprington" chick 4 months ago, we were certainly in for a surprise. Not only is it clearly not a BO thanks to its huge comb and feathered feet, it's also 1/3 larger than the entire rest of the flock (even the 2 year old Welsummers), and we suspect it's a roo...

    Rooster Not Crowing Right

    I have a sultan rooster that just turned one year old. As long as he has been crowing he has done a three-syllable crow instead of the normal "cock-a-doodle-doo" (his sounds like "cock-a-doooo" for comparison. I realize that some young roosters have a "baby crow" while they are still learning...

    How to stop a rooster from crowing?

    Help! I have a 7 or 8 month old rooster, named Angus. He is a sweet heart. He was the first chick I hatched in my incubator. We were hoping he was a hen, becuase we aren’t supposed to have roosters, becuase we have neighbors on either sides of us. We were hoping he wouldn’t crow, becuase we...

    Has anyone trained a rooster to not crow?

    I saw a youtube video posted by a woman who says she trained her rooster not to crow by locking it up in her closet whenever it crowed. #1 I don't want to lock a rooster in my closet. (It needs to stay outside) #2 I'm not around during the day so I can't do anything if it crows when I'm away...

    Premature Crowing in 8 week old cockerel

    Hi All, I have an EE cockerel who is around 8 weeks old right now. Two weeks ago I heard him make an odd croaking sound from around the corner and all of the other birds tore off for the coop in fright!! I wondered if he had been trying to crow. This week, I caught him in the act! On video...

    Help! Rooster needs a home!

    I have a 7 month old Speckled Sussex rooster that has begun crowing quite a bit, which means I have to rehome him. I haven't the slightest clue on how to do this or where to take him. Does anybody know what I can do, or if rehoming him will cause strain on my hen? She's the only other chicken I...

    Cowarding Chicken Behavior - HELP!

    I need help!! I raised 10 chickens from when they were only two weeks old. We didn't know whether they were roosters or hens yet, but we knew we'd eventually have to get rid of the roosters due to city laws. The chickens are currently about 15 weeks old. I let my chickens free range during the...

    Dying Rooster

    My sweet young rooster had a strange- sounding crow one evening and was hoarse the next. He used to be top dog, but now is picked on by everyone. Last night, I thought he was going to die but lived through miraculously. He's wheezing now, in the coop and sitting down (wierdo, he's never done...

    Yes, the old male to female ratio

    Hi all. I know this topic has been bled to death, like a female kept with 5 males. I have kept quails in the past at 1:3 as suggested by quail literature. I now understand this is not a good system and 1:5 - 1:8 is much better. I am living in a tiny townhouse so am trying to keep a low...

    How can I keep my roosters quiet?

    I have a smallish flock, I've got 3 roosters and 4 hens. The hens are all good, they're even laying eggs earlier than I expected! My problem is my roosters, they crow... a lot! The real problem is that I live in the suburbs... I've got no-crow collars on them but they do pretty much nothing...

    Hi All :) My name is Jennifer and I am relatively new to BYC. I have had 1-2 chickens (more as pets) as a child, but this is mine and my husband's first go at having a "backyard flock." We got 6 "sexed" Rhode Island Red Hens from Tractor Supply Co this spring and have since built a coop...

    Is my Buff Orpington a male?

    I'm heartbroken if it is... I heard crowing this morning and my girls are 15-16 weeks. I have a mixed flock so I have nothing to compare to. I've raised chickens before and even had a Buff Orpington. I can't tell the difference! This is crazy! We are super attached and if this is a male, he is...
