I've got the best rooster in the world.... He can't crow, has no voice.... He does all the things roosters do!!!! But when he crows, and he does crow, there's no sound... He's 1 1/2 yrs. old and we've never heard a peep from him... It's funny watching him stretch out his neck and do the crowing thing but no sound... Everything else on him works great!!!! So Walter will have a long happy life as long as his other body parts continue to work!!!! I was thinking he would be priceless to you city slickers...... Happy 4th everyone....
