rooster crowing

[moody-chick]

I know this is a stupid question.BUT, why does a rooster crow all day long> What is its purpose? It is getting aggravating.Hes in a coop with hens and is showing his authority with them, so im wondering, why. Thanx in advance

Moody-chick, consider it his way of announcing the joy of living to the rest of the world. He crows because he can, and because he's notifying anything within hearing distance that he is top roo! If you're in a position to do so, it may help to let them out of the coop and free range. It seems to occupy their attention and mine do far less crowing when they're foraging than when they're in the run. Just a suggestion. Try not to think of it as an aggravation; try to think of it as expressing "joie de vivre" ...

I went out late one night to check on everyone(because I had been gone all day) and low and behold if Mr. Bojangles didn't walk out of his house and start crowing!! I think he smokes "stuff" out behind the barn when I'm not looking...

When Hoss crows, I often hear off in the distance another rooster crowing. I like it and several of my neighbors ave expressed the same sentiment, it is a comfort sound. If I wake up and I don't hear Hoss, I panic quietly

until I hear him.

Roosters crow at everything. Sometimes they crow at nothing. Sometimes they crow just to crow. It's a complete myth that roosters only crow at dawn. Roosters crow whenever they are awake.

I have two, and when one starts, look out. The crowing competition is on!
