This morning I heard a rather odd noise coming from the barn/coop. Sort of an Ur-ur-urrrrrh noise. It repeated itself a couple more times. It wasn't particularly loud, but loud enough for me to hear it in the bedroom. I think my chicks are finally growing up.
sounds like you have at least one rooster lol. Never forget my first time hearing a new crow. I was sitting at the computer late one evening when I heard something coming from my spare bedroom where I had the chicks brooding. Here a 5 week old silkie was just starting to crow It did finally get DH off his duff to finish the coop thou lol
It can sometimes take a long time for them to get it right. I have a 10 month old brahma who still makes an awful noise. But he is practicing to try to get it right....and practicing and practicing and practicing, Sandie
My silkie rooster just started crowing a few days ago. It's so funny. He goes ruuuu ruuuu..............then a few seconds later a pitiful little ru like he ran out of breath.
I was so thrilled when my cockerels started crowing. I don't know how that sound could bother anyone.
Two of my roosters sound as if they are clearing their throats for the past few weeks. While one has a strong crow each morning. It would be nice if the two wouldn't have a full crow so I could keep them within the city limits. Do all roosters get past the throat clearing stage and have a real crow? What are they odds of them not crowing? - North End Farmer
