    Rooster lost his crow after hawk attack

    About 10 Days ago we had some hawk attacks resulting in the loss of two hens over a 3 day period, as well as a couple near misses. We secured the space and all seems to have retuned to normal except that my poor, sweet 10 month old rooster hasn't crowed since. Is he in morning? Is there anything...

    When does a rooster start to crow?

    I have a Dominicker rooster that has yet to crow. We bought him in April and it looks like he’s full grown, being that he is only slightly smaller than my older girls, but he hasn’t crowed at all yet? Is it still too early? He had the feathering of a male bird. I’ll attach a photo that was...

    Silkie rooster won't crow? Will he stay silent?

    My silkie rooster, Monte Muffiano, is 6+ months old and in a flock of four hens and no other roosters. He crowed one singular time a few months ago and that's it. 100% silent. All his siblings and his dad started crowing loudly at two months old. Is it possible that he'll be silent? He used to...

    Eye is gross, quieter but otherwise acting normal?

    My rooster (year old Silkie) seems to have a goopy/bubbly eye. Other than that he is not crowing quite as frequently or chasing hens the same, but still has an appetite and is running around just fine (not lethargic). Our vet can't see us for a few more days and I'm worried about him. We've...

    Rooster not feeling well, any thoughts on using silver water?

    Hi, I’ve read a few threads about sick roosters and wondering if anyone has ever used silver water on their hens or rooster? He started not getting up on the perch two nights ago and we thought maybe he had injured his foot as stayed up once we put him there... today he kinda just laid down...

    Rooster Won't Crow

    I recently got a new flock of chickens. 3 RIRs, a silver laced, and a jersey giant. Two of the RIRS were roosters. We named them Big D and B (we thought they might be hens as babies). Big D took on the alpha role and B was cool with that. Recently, Big D was attacked by a raccoon. His...
