I’ve read quite a few posts about roos doing the egg song, but mine is a mystery to me. I have two inside roos that live together, they both wear crow collars and have for several months (they were rescued together from a whole life rehab I interned at, and yes they get along).
My silkie roo has recently cut way back on his crowing, but now he’s doing the egg song for no apparent reason 3-6 times a day, every few hours. it’s a bit distressing! I’ll run in and nothing appears to be amiss, he’ll just be in his perch screaming the egg song even though they have no ladies. There are about 12 chickens + a roo outside, so checked to see if he’s hearing something stressful going on outside and nothing seems to be there either.
We let them out of their enclosure to run around the house everyday for 3-8 hours.
Any ideas out there?
