Good morning everyone!
My cockerel (George) is somewhat of an enigma to me.
I have often read threads about people trying in vain to silence their roosters from crowing, but mine seems to be different.
George will start crowing around 3.30am when hubby turns on all the house lights and goes to work. He will crow for about ten minutes, until I get out of bed and switch the lights off, then he goes back to sleep. Good George!
Around 6.30am - 7am, when the sun comes up, we get a few brief crows too. This lasts maybe six or so crows. They are loud and clear, as are the first crows, but that's the end of it.
No more crowing after that for the day. None at night. None at snack time. None when birds fly overhead. None when he sees me, the cat, or hubby approaching.
Is it normal to have so little crowing?!
Don't get me wrong - I'm quite grateful (as I assume my neighbours are!) Just wondering if George is 'normal?'
Thanks! Krista
