RH and Lisser... what age were yours when you got a crow?
Hmm, I can't remember exactly how old he was when he started to crow - I know that he was the 3rd one to start crowing - I think it might have to do with their place in the pecking order in addition to their age. I have 3 other cockerels the same age (and 2 that are bigger than him) that still haven't started crowing, and they are lower on the pecking order.
I agree, too bad you can't keep one or both. Our BR/EE cross is a nice dude. He calls the others to food and also tries to call somebody to nest (not sure who he's calling since the cockerels are separate from the pullets now!).
Good luck!
Melissa
