I got three rosters givin to me and they crow at al hours even at night. Is this normal if not what can I do to stop it.

Haven't you taught them how to tell time yet?

You'll get use to it.

Mine crow from before day light, about 4:30a 'til the egde of dark when they go in to roost.

lol, I just got them have never have any before. They are nice and frendly but I couldn't believe that they were crowing at5 night when prediters are out.

My rooster crows in the morning starting at about 5AM, crows throughout the day, and continues crowing for a while after he and the hens are in the coop for the night. Basically, if there is activity around the farm, he likes to join in and let us know he is there. My suggestion - smile and crow with them!

They also have crowing contest's! first one then the other, sometimes for hours.
They are very entertaining.

My roo barely ever crows. He crows for maybe 5 mins around 7:00 am and doesnt after that. Im disappointed bc im one of the few that like to hear a rooster crow. I read it has to do with the amount of light (i did get my roo to crow when i came around the coop with a flashlight at night...but it could be bc i disturbed their slumber) and dominance (dominant roos crow more...its true in my case...my roo is extremly mellow). I can't even get him to crow back to me when i try...he just shakes his head and walks away.

Interesting, I wonder if roosters of a certain breed crow more than others.

The light thing explains why they crow at dawn.
The dominance thing well idk- who'd have thought theat my RIR roo (a breed known to be mean and dominant), would be more mellow than my hens?

Sounds like you have a competition going on. During the times I have more than one, Mine will do the samething. After the sale barn, it ends. Still, you may want to learn to love the song becouse you can't fault a rooster for being a rooster. By the way. Mine start around 4:00am also. But I don't use an alarm clock either.
