Is This Normal ?

[quailmale]

My Coturnix have given me their first egg and are now crowing also, question is, is it normal with no extra lighting/dark night for them to crow off and on all night? I've had chickens before that would start at 03:00 but not all night. thanks

Sounds normal to me

No coturnix crow shall go unanswered! No matter what the time of night, day or morning.

Don't know if it's normal, but it happens around here all night.

and here too .....but it's only my single males that do it.All the roo/hen groups are quiet all the time.

THEY ALL CROW 24/7/365 AND AS JOES STATES... NO CROW SHALL GO UNANSWERED... OFTEN LEADING TO THE 3:45AM CROWATHON!

When one crows, another one goes, and another, and soon enough there is a crow contest

The only time I had ridiculous crowing is when I had bachelors in a separate pen. They knew there were females nearby and crowed to them constantly. 2am seemed to be their favorite time to start

Same answer from 4 or 5 different states.....must be realllll normal. I'm about 2 weeks from culling the extra roo's from this pen. It's not bothersome to me was just wondering. Thanks

I don't think mine crowed nearly as much back in the dead of winter, between say Thanksgiving and about the first of March. They do it a lot more now.

I'm a little puzzled at all of the people who comment that it is loud. To me, they're tiny little birds with little voices, and it's really not much louder than a cricket or katydid in the summer. I find it very, very pleasant.

I am not sure why but when the timer turns off the lights they crow for just a bit but stop in about 5 minutes then start back up at daylight about 5 am here
