My rooster wont stop crowing

[lyndseyJackson93]

I adopted a full grown rooster who was previously homed with 2 other roosters who would beat him up. It's been about 2 weeks since I've adopted him and placed him with my younger hens. Since I've adopted him he has not stopped crowing. He crows from about 4am till about 5pm non stop. Is this normal !? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you

Are there other rooster's that live near by that he might be hearing crowing also? Rooster's in the neighborhood seem to want to hold choruses and when one start's they all want to join in. You get used to it.

He's making up for lost time!
Other crowing roosters within hearing will trigger 'crow offs', as BB just mentioned.
He does need time to settle in, and then see how he does. And enjoy the crowing!
Mine start at first light too, and if he's seeing lights going by, or critters outside his coop making noise, he'll want everyone to know he's on the job.

Nope. He may calm down in a little while, but some of my boys also just continue crowing all day long. I think they're similar to the people who just like to hear themselves talk

Chickens are like people. Some do not talk much, some can be chatty at times and some never stop.

And there's nothing like walking to the truck to go to work, it's dark, it's quiet, you're almost to the door and....

ER, ER-ER, ER-EEEEEER!!!!

Came close to touching cotton that morning.

I appreciate all the comments! Hopefully he just needs time to settle in. Thank you everyone!

Yep, that's normal.

Answers my question about my one cockerel almost 16 wks. I think he likes to hear himself get his man crow.

Young adults are practicing there crow hence why there constantly crowing.

My prince did that when he was young, but at a year and half old he just crowed in the mornings and evening.

Now that he's almost 3 years old, he crows in the mornings till I let him out of the coop then he stops the rest of the morning and afternoon. Then crows 2 to 3 times in the evenings to get the hens in the coop and it's silence from then on. But that's just who he is.
