Hi guys so I have a New Hampshire Red Rooster, that up until this point has been very "Roosterly". He crowed, he mounted the hens, he fought off other potential rivals etc. But now he has started clucking like a hen and has not crowed in over 2 weeks.
Some additional facts:
He is all by himself. No other roosters, no other hens.
He is molting.
but other than that nothing else is different.
And yes he is a male, I have had him going on our soon to be 3rd winter now.
Sooooo.... has anyone else experienced this????
I have heard of females crowing when there are no roosters around, some even going as far as mounting other hens, but never a rooster clucking like a hen.
So any feed back you guys have would be great!
I am very curious to hear what you guys might have to say!
