crowing question

[warhorse]

I have a one year old cuckoo marans e-gg. He is a nice looking, big e-gg and I have four nice cuckoo marans hens who are laying nice dark roosters and I had hoped to sell fertile roosters from them soon. Today, the e-gg started having trouble crowing. He gets the "cock-a-doo" out and then his voice stops abruptly. He continues crowing with his mouth and neck but the last half of the crow is silent. What might be going on with this e-gg's crowing?

-thank you

I don't know

Could he be going thru puberty - like human boys?
Maybe someone who knows something will inform us.

It may just be normal for him to crow funny.

I have a friend who used to have a cat that would do the meow action but it never made the actual noise.

Hope this helps!

He had been crowing "normally" until the other day he suddenly dropped the last "doo". Today, he only got out the "caw" but still went through the motion of trying the rest of the crow.

all of my roosters have different crows,
some are short and funny,
and some are like the ones on tv...
not sure if this helps,
but i think hes alright

Is he acting normal other than that? Eating regularly? Drinking regulary?

He is normal otherwise, except his beak is split. I was going to have to recruit help to try to trim it and see if it will grow back in normally. Is it possible with the split beak he vocal cords are just drying out?
