Meaning of my rooster’s vocalization

[ColdWind]

he’s doing that when he sees a flying predator, or a seagull, or a tweety bird. It’s an arial alarm call to the hens. They all do it!

Tried to post video, but file was too big.

Upload vid to youtube or similar platform then paste a link here.

My group of 6 healthy birds is super-vocal, including the hens.

They make what seems like dozens of different sounds.

They are definitely talking.

I would describe some of the rooster's sounds as "guttural".

Sometimes the small flock seems like one big, slow, Analog computer.

Also, they seem to be camera shy. If they are busy talking and a lay down a smartphone near them in record mode, they usually go silent.

ESPECIALLY the largest rooster.

Sure thing! Keep an eye out for nasal discharge and sneezing, but I'm pretty sure you have nothing to worry about

So far, none noted.
