First Crows

[4 luv of eggs]

My 14 week old SLW crowed for the first time today. It sounded more like an antique car horn than a rooster. He made this pathetic sound three times in a row and all the girls ran back in the coop followed closely by him. I guess he scared himself.

Yes, first crows are hilarious. I remember one time I ran out to see what was attacking my chickens, only to find a cockerel all excited at what he had done!!

It truly is a pathetic sound at first!

Antique car horn....perfect description! How long does it take them to get a "normal" cock-a-doodle-doo?

So funny! My rooster was like "COCK-A-COUGH COUGH"!
