We have 21-wk-old Barred Rocks and one is a roo. When I ordered the chicks I paid the little extra to have them sexed, but looks like that 1% chance of getting a boy was my lucky number. Once we realized there was a roo in the mix, I debated about whether or not to keep him. We live in a rural mountain area but I do have neighbors and this guy found his voice and loves to use it.
Now, I understand they crow for different reasons, and I totally expected the early morning ones (does it REALLY have to be 5am???), but he goes on and on and on. He also crows throughout the day from sun up to sun down. Is this just something that they "outgrow" after several weeks and only crow when really provoked/morning?
His odds of staying are getting slimmer every day, especially as he has taken to going after my wife and kids, which I might put in a separate post since it would detract from the topic.
