Foghorn Leghorn.

Is there ever a person who has raised White Leghorns who hasn't invariably had someone come up with the cute reference to Foghorn Leghorn? Our Sebright roos have been crowing away for several weeks now but the Leghorn roos haven't quite gotten the urge to crow yet. Well that was until this weekend. One of them decided to start trying to crow and it really sounded like something that you'd hear on a tug boat. It was the most comical sound I've ever heard. Do all of the larger breeds of roos sound like this or do I have a foghorn for real?

LOL! Some of mine have to practice a month or so to get it right. It is comical.

Some never do get it though- the one I rehomed yesterday has been crowing for several months and still sounded like he was strangling.

My SLW sounded like an antique car horn when he started about a month ago. Sad, pathetic and not rooster-like at all. Now he's crowing like a real roo...and crowing...and crowing.........

All the RIRs and Rocks I had started out those foghorn crows, but they all came around after practice, a few days.
