Rooster crowing

[rifle2601]

My rooster starting crowing about 1 month ago and won't stop crowing & even crows at night

welcome to BYC!

and also, welcome to having a rooster

they crow when they want to, not just in the mornings

Yep, that's a rooster.

I haven't seen a single one of mine only crow in the mornings. Sometimes, they'll have a "crow off" as I call it and they'll go back and forth crowing about 30 times each--it's hilarious!! Thank goodness I have a neighbor that enjoys it almost as much as I do

For the night crowing - be sure there's not a light shining somewhere that he can see from the coop at night.

Only in Hollywood do Rooster exclusively crow in the mornings.

Noises too. Our Mercury light shines into the coop, but at night, if DH opens a window or goes outside to pee if DD is taking a bath, our EE cockerel will crow

Yup, both my roos just started to crow about a month ago and its nonstop, mostly by the bigger boy. but i have noticed that if its after dark and we turn on the bathroom light, which is next to the coop, he starts to crow! i guess this is normal! I think i need a curtain!! my upstairs neighbors dont mind the noise... and im not really sure how the others feel about it

but the boys are here to stay so i hope they dont mind! luckily we live in a small neighborhood that has ag. zoning! yeah for rooster!!

They are fantastic watch dogs! They also have REALLY good eyesight. When my boy crows I know there is a reason... I can't always find the reason, but he see's something!

They seem to shock crow like a turkey shock gobbles. I'll yell at my dogs and they'll crow. Bang on the coop shutting the pop door and they crow. So far only my Welsummers are crowing regularly. I haven't seen my RIR roos crow. I saw one of my Orloffs try to crow today. He needs voice lessons.
