I have two 14 week cockerels. They were hatched together and the sub male seems to have accepted his place in the pecking order early on, so I haven't had many fights, just a few squabbles here and there. I'm aware that may change as they get older, but for now I plan to keep both.
The more dominate male started crowing a few days ago. So far it isn't annoying, loud or persistent just occasionally. Mostly in the morning (I sleep through it, but it wakes me son up, bonus) at dusk or if the group gets too scattered. If it gets louder or more constant I may have to rehome him. The other male hasn't crowed yet.
My question is if I end up getting rid of the dominate male could the sub male start crowing? Is the the sub male not crowing because he's a sub male and doesn't want to draw attention to himself.
