Because the least liked thing about chickens are the roosters and their crowing.
Personally if I had the money, I'd put a LOT of work into importing some Kosova Longcrowers. Beautiful, spunky looking birds, a very long crow but deep and quiet at the same time, and truly a rare breed that isn't like our increasingly common finding of more Orpington colors being imported.
I love Long Crowers, but I'm not a fan of a normal single combed looking bird like Denizlis, and I don't care too much for a long high pitched crow. I like mine deep and low, like a monster or dinosaur or something is creating it.
Do you have longcrowers? I don't like the straight combed ones either so I crossed in one cross of sumatra and then backcrossed for a few generations, each time selecting the peacomb chicks to breed from. They are strange birds. I did the same thing with rose comb in a different line, and this year I am crossing the two lines to try to get some cushion combed longcrowers.
I don't know why more people don't get them. Mine lay good and are fun to have around. They are however a work in progress and some are better than others, some no good at all.
Once you get those peacomb ones perfected, let me know...that's what keeps me from getting the single combed ones now...It's far too cold here for anything with a big ol' comb.
