Hi guys, I've recently just brought a new rooster into my flock, he is a Silkie around 6-7 months old.
I live in suburbia where roosters are 'not recommend' I contacted my local council and they told me that I can have one, but if I get too many complaints I'll have to move him on.
I created a night box which he now sleeps in until 9am
His crow is somewhat quiet and doesn't go for very long, but he crows very consistent for the first 10 minutes then it drops off and after an hour he stops completely and won't start again until the next morning.
My question is, as he gets older will he crow more throughout the day as he just starting out? Or will this be a trait he will keep throughout his crowing life..
Totally understand that every rooster is different and it's very hard to tell the future but if any of you guys have had a similar experience I'd love to know what happened as he developed.
Thanks
