Rooster crowing.

Roosters don’t just crow in the mornings. LoL mine seems to crow all the time at all hours of the day. I sometimes find my self telling him to shut up!

Mine will crow at night if they see a flashlight or something.

Roosters crow whenever they please. I would prefer a quieter one but i know that isnt possible.
My cockerel who is crowing was crowing all day and today only crowed until 10 a.m so

Same! Or when the moon hits the coop
I walk outside and he crows at me! So funny!

Funny. My boys are thusfar fairly quiet. But there is an exception. When I go out to feed them and check on them they start to crow. I am wondering if this is an announcement of the food coming to the girls, an interaction with me, or a statement of “yeah bring the food but remember I am the boss”. I know there are many reasons and variations but I find it odd they thusfar only crow when I visit.

Thoughts?

It's frustrating. Many of the calls roosters make are explainable; they're given for a reason which sometimes is quite obvious; the roosting call for example. It doesn't take a lot of obsevation to see when a rooster makes such and such a call, this or that happens. When it comes to crowing, it seems the call encompasses many possible communications.

I hear you. Pun intended. Charles hardly crowed at all when we had a second rooster. Literally two hours after I adopted the other guy out Charles started talking. Being alpha now I guess is a thing. He chatters all day long. Definitely when the food is coming and after I leave. And then…. All. Day. Long. I swear I hear him crowing in my head when he isn’t saying a word.
