I have a couple of questions about my rooster, Oliver.
First, he doesn't crow! He hatched in late march. He tried mating with a (teenage) chick, so I know he's definitely a rooster. Why doesn't he crow? I'm glad he doesn't though because we live in a neighborhood and if he gets too loud we'll have to give him away.
My second question is when he bends over mucus comes out of his mouth. his poop is also watery.
Oliver acts normal (except for not crowing) and is actually pretty friendly (we've only had skittish or mean roosters)
