Rooster Not Crowing Right

In last year's grow out pen, I had a cockerel who sounded like Tiny Tim getting wound up to go tip toeing through the tulips. His crow was a fairly high pitched Woo-hoooo! Every time hubby heard him, he'd say, "that boy just ain't right."

Can't wait to hear my upcoming cockerel crow. He's been mating for weeks, but only saw him spar once and no attempts to crow. My husband said he tried yesterday. He said he thought it was a cat making weird sounds. I can't wait to hear it myself. They usually start out funny, then improve, but before long they usually have their lifelong crow, at least as I've seen of mine.

Handsome fellow!
I have raised 4 roosters. They will develop different crows as they age, also depending on their experiences around other animals vocalizing, including human voice. If you listen carefully you will notice that each crow not only sounds different, it comes at different times of the day and means different things. Not too different from your dog's barking, howls, or crying. I know when my "Frito" is saying "Good Mo-o-o-rning" or "I'm hungry" or "I want out".
Even hens will learn certain vocalizations to express what they want or like.

Okay! Thank you all for the help!

Hahaa. Perhaps.

I had 2 roosters who both had 3-syllable crows, yours sounds way more "roostery" than either of mine...
(Sadly I do not have a video, but theirs were deeper-voiced, and were a really short "ooo-e-oo!")
