Chirping
We have 6 chickens we've raised up from chicks. There are 3 Rhode Island Reds and 3 Barred Rocks. They aren't laying yet but we expect they'll be starting soon they are 19 weeks. One of our Red ladies and One of our Barreds seem to both think they are roosters. Every morning at sunrise first the red crows then the barred crows. LOuD! The red thinks she is a rooster, she even has these two long tail feathers and little bumps where spurs should be. The problem is we live in town and the city ordinance allows for chickens but not roosters because of the sound. So there lies our problem. We are afraid the neighbors will soon complain ( I know I would! ) It isn't just in the morning either there is a constant flow of cock a doodling coming from our two birds! Any ideas?
