My Louis had a similar problem...he started out fine but toward the end it sounded like someone was choking him. It went something like cock-a-doodleARRRRGGHHH!

Wow, Speckledhen, Suede has a beautiful crow-sounds like he is going to break out in song at any time!

I haven't been around roosters at all, but I find this thread hysterical! So funny. We love our chickens, don't we?

Oh if you think Lucifer is bad you should've heard Rusty when he first started crowing!!!

OMG!!! He sounded like a real rusty gate that needed to be oiled real bad! It hurt my ears to listen to him. But after I entered him in the fair and him hearing all those roosters crowing all the time he improved his crow 100%.

Now you should listen to him. I love hearing him crow now.

Well well well!! Them boys certainly have nothing wrong with their voices, now do they?

Isn't it interesting how Suede's voice matches his personality? And Dutch's certainly matches his!!

Come on Cyn...just send me that big bad boy and we'll both be happy!!

ETA: A few months ago, someone posted a video of a rooster crowing and it was the most long winded, drawn out crow I had ever heard. I'm not at all sure, but I think the breed was called Andalusian? Or something like that. Does anyone else remember that one? I'd really like to know what breed that was...it's one I'd certainly stay well clear of. Even in such a rural setting as ours, I think all 5 neighbor's households would come shoot that roo!

Good Grief! It was LONG and LOUD!!!

Serrin, those crazy-long crows are from a group of breeds called Longcrowers. One of those is the Denzili.

Does BYC need to write a book called "Crowing for Dummie Roos"?

Not me! I have a neighbor that did a very nasty thing regarding another neighbor and a dog(that's all I'm gonna say 'bout that). I'd LOVE to have a couple of those Denzilis-just for them!

Annoying my animal unfriendly neighbors-just another service I offer!
