Rooster Stopped Crowing

[Carolines coop]

My rooster stopped crowing. He's still eating and drinking. He's the number 2 rooster. Any ideas on this are appreciated.

It sounds as if he is being intimidated by the Alpha. The dominant rooster can actually suppress testosterone levels in subordinates in confined situations.

Definitely sounds like the other rooster is exerting his powers over him! Does he also wait till last to eat?
