Do roosters cluck like hens?

[pierrea]

Hello

I got two light sussex chickens, they are 14 weeks old.
I suspect that one is a rooster but i don't know about the other one.
But last night the chicken that i dont know the gender on started clucking.
So i was just wonderring if rooster clucks like hens r do they just crow?

They make similar noises while young and roosters sometimes make the same noises as hens do, when the hens lay eggs. For a guess on the gender(s) of your youngsters, post some pics of them here:

I came on here to ask a similar question but see it's answered now. I found my rooster right beside my hen's nesting box, clucking softly like a momma hen. I looked inside and she was there laying her egg. Apparentally they do cluck, sometimes for their hens when they're laying.

Yes...Roosters make all the same sounds as hens except they can crow also...

Cheers!

They tidbit like a hen does for her chicks and they cluck as well. Besides crowing, they also have different sounding distress and warning calls that hens cannot make (most of the time).

At 14 weeks, it should be very clear by appearance alone if they are pullets or cockerels.
Post some pics please.

They go in the nest and "growl" to tell the hen that it is a good place to lay an egg. Mine do it all the time.

Hello everyone. I love this site. I have a question about our Rooster who is 4 months old. He crows all the time and makes other sounds as well.
But today, I heard him doing this constant clucking sound. I ran down to the coop to see that it was him standing in the corner facing the wall while clucking. He has done this twice now. The oldest hens are also only 4 months. I read previous answers before asking this question. Our hens are not laying yet. Could his clucking mean something else?
