It's not crowing yet?

Yeah that kinda surprises my too, maybe he is not the dominant in his flock?

It’s a weird crow.. It doesn’t sound like my other rooster and I did read that hens do mimick or try to do the rooster crow too..

Definitely not the dominant one. I’ve got a Silver Sebright bantam rooster that’s smaller than all the chickens I have and still attacks me at times when I go out to take care of them.

I accidentally had about 15 roosters and some of them did have very odd crows too

@Hobbits Mommie accidentally? That sounds like the making of a good story.

My neighbor gifted me 22 newly hatched chickens, and in return I was to raise 2 turkeys for him. All but 5 of the chickens turned out to be roosters. They were about 5 months old and I was so stressed out trying to figure out what to do with them. I ran into a couple at tractor supply and they came that night to pick them up. I was in tears, but I learned a HUGE lesson.

@Hobbits Mommie oh wow! At least you found someone to take them, that could've been a real challenge! Re-homing roosters around here is hard, everybody wants to get rid of them, nobody wants to take them lol

I don't know what this couples intentions were (probably dinner), but I didn't have the luxury to be picky...
