It doesn't make sense to me ?

I have mature Plymouth Rock roo (Gator), and a teenage SLW roo (Cajun) in same coop and run. Now Gator will let Cajun have his way with the ladies all day long, but you let Cajun try to crow and Gator is all over him Why is Cajun aloud to mate but gets beat up for crowing ?

It goes back to that old bugga bear the pecking order. The pecking order is how a flock of chickens parcel out the various resources belonging to the flock. A flock's resources can include among other things, roosting space, hens, food, personal space, water, power, and just pure old D cussedness. And you better believe that each and every hen and rooster in the barnyard is out to get his or her share of these resources. Also the pecking order is highly fluid, and what is allowed today may well be verboten tomorrow.
I will venture that Gator views crowing as an expression of power.

I know about the rules of the yard, I just thought that mating would be above crowing. I was worried about Cajun coming of age, and getting his butt kicked for trying to mate, not from crowing. They always seem to amaze me.
