I have two brown leg-horn roos that I got from a straight run (hoping for hens). They are both the same age, but one clearly showed his colors very early. He has been crowing for several weeks, the other does not. Out of respect for my neighbors, myself and only 14 hens, I would like to get rid of one roos. If I get rid of the crowing one, is the other likily to start? Do Rooster ever not crow?
There was a 5 to 6 week period after my first roo started crowing before my second one started (same breed). Generally the alpha roo starts crowing first. If you were to get rid of him the other would maybe start sooner; but he will start as some point anyhow.
i have 2 roos both the same age 4 1/2 months old ...one has been crowing for sometime now....he's the alpha male i take it....the other very seldomly crows..i think i've had the chance to hear him maybe 3 times...even when the alpha lost his crow for a week and half he never crowed,,now the alpha has his voice back and it's stronger than ever...he must of had a voice change because he's louder than ever now.the other roo still doesn't do any crowing
