Rooster stop crowing

[LeeAnn Toler]

Something got a hold of my rooster 2 weeks ago and he hasn't crow since then. It's been very cold here too and I thought that might have a little bit to do with it. I'm getting safe chicken heaters but won't be here until Wednesday. They're not in a coop either. I just have them in a closed fence but put tarps all around it so that the wind won't get to them.

Welcome to BYC. How cold is it there? Mine have a coop, but are outside happily scratching around and it's zero degrees F right now. We don't use any heat here.

Welcome to BYC. Is he eating and drinking ? If so it is probable that he is still scared by the attack.

If it's no colder there than here, I'd probably be more concerned about predators. Does your rooster have visible injuries?

It's been between 0 to 15 degrees. I can see them shiver. Snow is on the ground and they absolutely don't like the snow. They all are huddled together. They won't scratch the ground, I guess because of the snow.

He seems to be acting a little bit better today. He just crowed around 2 o'clock. They act like they are sensitive to cold weather. He is eating better too.
