Crowing at 7 1/2 weeks? Come on!

[living2ride]

Would you believe my not quite 8 week old Frizzle roo is trying to crow already? He is one cocky little cockerel too! He's always all puffed up and challenging the other chickens - even though he's smaller (and definitely goofier looking!) than most of them. I can see that that little bugger is going to be TROUBLE!

Some try as early as 3 weeks. Congrats on your Roo!!!

Really? 3 weeks? Holy chicken!
I had no idea they'd try so young. With all my other roosters, it seems like I was waiting and waiting and waiting FOREVER for them to crow. I know my rooster from last year was about 6 months before he finally crowed. Lucky for him, because he would've gone for processing with my meat birds if I'd known! By the way, that little "trick" earned him the name Sneaky.

Hope you are able to keep him. I have a difficult time getting rid of any of mine.

Oh yeah, now that Sneaky has a name, he's stuck with us.

That crazy frizzle roo too - he's not going anywhere either. He's too fun to look at.
Now that I'll have a few separate pens, the extra roos won't be too much of a problem.

I love it when our little roo man tries to crow.. throws his head back and no sound comes out!! He gets so frustrated!

<~~ no sound coming out

Drumstick crowed the day after Christmas at 4 weeks! I thought it was a dying something in the attic!

Yep, once you name them it's really hard to get rid of them. 3 years ago I had a little black Cochin rooster bite me twice. I named him Crockpot, because that's where mean roosters go. I still have him! LOL
