My Cockerel did his first CROW!!!!!

[The Chick Addict]

I took my White Cochin Bantam Cockerel, who is 15 weeks, to visit our neighbors chickens (who are 15 weeks old too) through the fence. I have guinea fowls who are always harrassing my chickens, including him, so he never really gets to act like a rooster. Well, once we got there, he started scratching at the hay and doing aggresive courtship dances toward my neighbors pullet. (He is aggresive towards other chickens) He crowed several times!! I am so proud of him! He is so cute! I just wanted to share this exciting news!!!

Mine recently started too. The second in command cockerel is not, so far as I can tell, but Drumstick is sure working hard to learn. Isn't it funny how excited we are about this perfectly normal (and later annoying) phenomenon?
